[DE] "Im Osten von Mayen steht die St.-Veit-Kapelle.
Vermutlich stand an dieser Stelle im 9. Jh. bereits eine Kleinkirche. Letzte Zeugen eines mittelalterlichen Baues, der 1718 durch die Chorkapelle ersetzt wurde, sind die zwei Glocken von 1711 und 1713 und die beiden Joche.

1953 wurde unmittelbar neben der Kapelle mit dem Bau einer Pfarrkirche begonnen. Da die alten Bauteile der Kirche in ihrer Ursprünglichkeit belassen wurden, entstand ein Raum zwischen Kapelle und Kirche der heute einen Ort der Besinnung darstellt.
Dort kann auch ein zweistöckiger, barocker Altar bewundert werden, der früher in der St. Clemens-Kirche stand.

Die St.-Veit-Kapelle und Kirche sind umgeben von einem Park, in dem noch einige klassizistische Grabmale des ehemaligen Friedhofs zu finden sind."

[EN] "East of Mayen is the St. Vitus Chapel.
Probably there was a small church here in the 9th century. The last witnesses of a medieval building, which was replaced by the choir chapel in 1718, are the two bells of 1711 and 1713 and the two yokes.

In 1953, the construction of a parish church was started right next to the chapel. Since the old parts of the church were left in their original state, a space was created between the chapel and the church, which today is a place of reflection.
There you can also admire a two-storey, baroque altar that used to stand in St. Clement's Church.

The Chapel of St. Vitus and the church are surrounded by a park where there are still some neoclassical tombs of the former cemetery."
