DE: Heilig-Kreuz-Kapelle der Familie von Meurers
Erbaut 1707 von Marcus Henricus von Meurers und seiner Ehefrau Maria Christina Koellers neben der St. Viktor-Kirche. Die Heilig-Kreuz-Kapelle war die Ruhestätte der Schultheißenfamile „von Meurers" (Schultheiß: Bürgermeis-ter und Richter der niederen Gerichtsbarkeit). Über dem Portal der Kapelle steht die Plastik der Heiligen Helena, die Patronin der Kreuzritter. Sie dokumentiert die Zugehörigkeit der Familie zum Templer- und Johanniterorden.
