The St. Laurentius Chapel in Ebbinghof is idyllically situated in the Schmallenberg Sauerland—a place of tranquility, faith, and religion. As a destination for day trips and a place of pilgrimage, it impresses with its simple architecture and eventful history. The current chapel was rebuilt in 1915 using parts of the old farm chapel, whose origins date back to the 13th century.
It is named after Saint Laurentius, the patron saint of professions related to fire. An altarpiece depicts him as a martyr. Also worth seeing are the statue of the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and bullet holes in the old oak benches—silent witnesses to World War II.
The chapel is located directly on the Village Churches Bike Route, which connects numerous sacred gems in the region. A detour to the chapel can be perfectly combined with a bike ride or hike through the surrounding countryside. The combination of faith, architecture, and the tranquility of the landscape makes it a special destination for culture enthusiasts and those seeking peace and quiet.
