It's called the "Devil's Chapel" - HFF

It's called the "Devil's Chapel" - HFF
Along the hiking path leading to the lighthouse you can see this strange building. It appears to have been a boathouse, but it is known as the "Devil's Chapel", probably because of the chimeras on its roof and the bullet holes in its back wall. ....

ELLE S'APPELLE LA "CHAPELLE DU DIABLE". Le long du sentier des douaniers menant au phare, on voit ce bâtiment étrange. Il semblerait que c'était un abri pour bateaux, mais il est connu sous l'appellation "chapelle du diable", probablement à cause des chimères qui ornent son toit, et son mur arrière où l'on voit distinctement des impacts de balles....

SIE WIRD "TEUFELSKAPELLE" GENANNT. Entlang des Wanderfades, der zum Leuchtturm führt, sieht man dieses seltsame Gebäude. Anscheinend war es ein Bootshaus, doch es ist unter dem Namen "Teufelskapelle" bekannt, wahrscheinlich wegen der Chimären, die sein Dach schmücken, sowie seiner Rückwand, an der man deutlich Einschusslöcher sieht....

Beautiful light on this sweet little chapel/boat house Christa. Great PiPs, - I particularly like the first. It would be lovely to know why it was built and whether it was for devil worshippers or just someone with a strange sense of humour. Not a place to venture into at night if you have a nervous disposition!! Love this

HFF and have a great week

Christa1004 club has replied to Ecobird club
Thanks Carol. I was looking for information everywhere, in the local tourist office and on internet, but I couldn't find much. It's a little bit a mystery - but maybe it's this what makes the place singular and strange... Wishing you a nice weekend.

Jedesmal, wenn ich dieses Gebäude sehe, frage ich mich, wozu es dient. Die Einschusslöcher sind wohl aus dem 2. Weltkrieg?

Danke Wilhelm, ich denke, das geht jedem so, der schon einmal daran vorbei ging. Leider habe ich nicht viele Informaitonen darüber gefunden, aber ich schätze auch, dass die Löcher aus dem 2. Weltkrieg stammen. Ein schönes Wochenende.

Thanks Roger. There is a nearby bunker, which was part of the "Atlantic Wall" during WW II, so I think indeed that violence was on the agenda during those days... Have a nice weekend.

Devil or not the chapel looks beautiful in the wonderful light. The bullet holes are interesting, perhaps from WW2. A fine series Christa.
