The Monument Plaque reads:

"Die "Michaeliskapelle", vor 1800 erbaute sogenannte "Ollenkamper Kluse", wurde 1981 vom Aschendorfer Heimat- und Bürgerverein restauriert.

Der Rokoko-Altar mit dem Altarbild (Christi Geburt) und die Statuen (Erzengel Michael, Maria mit Jesus und Johannesknaben auf der Konsole und Caritas, 1731) stammen aus der ehemaligen Hauskapelle Altenkamp, die vom Kurfürsten Clemens August gegründet wurde.

Die Michaelis-Klause ist heute Kriegergedächtnisstätte für die Toten und Vermissten des I. und II. Weltkriegs."
