The small chapel is a replica of the original chapel in the former district of Hövelsenne and was built on a voluntary basis.

The chapel was built in 2014/2015 and is a reminder of the former district of Hövelsenne, which had to be abandoned to expand the Senne military training area. Over 130 families and around 800 residents were relocated in the process. In addition to the farms, the village center with its church and school also had to be abandoned. The small chapel was rebuilt true to scale on the outside of the former church. A few original elements (e.g. windows) were reused and integrated into the replica.
