Nederland - Nunhem, Sint-Servaaskapel

The Sint-Servaaskapel (Saint Servatius Chapel) is a pigrimage chapel. The cahpel is dedicated to Saint Servatius and is located on a ‘hill’ (the Servaasberg) on the edge of the Leudal.

A Servaas chapel at this site was first mentioned in 1744, when it was shown on a map. The chapel was restored in 1877, but the current, neo-Gothic chapel was built in 1891. The chapel was consecrated in 1892. The latest restoration took place in 1994.

Behind the chapel is the Saint Servatius well that is said to have been dug by the saint himself in order to use the well, which is 15 meters above the level of the stream, to baptize the first local Christians.
