St. Veit Kapelle

On the site of St. Vitus Chapel was probably also a small church in the 9th century, as indicated by soil finds in 1919. Witnesses of a medieval building, which was replaced by the choir chapel in 1718, are the two bells from 1711 and 1713. An ogival triumphal arch with capitals and pedestals separates the chapel from the nave, which was added only in 1785. The chapel, today a sight to see.

Brückentor

The bridge gate is one of the four former city gates of Mayen. It can be found in the city center. Today the Carnival Museum is located inside the gate.

Heilig-Geist-Kapelle

The "Heilig-Geist" chapel was built in 1757 and was usually part of the "Hospital zum Heiligen Geist". In 1935, foundations were found which implies that there used to be an own chapel for the hospital. After World War 2, the "Heilig-Geist" chapel used to be an emergency churge for the "St. Clemens" priest's office for a couple of years. After its renovation in the years of 1960/61, the chapel was opened as monument, dedicating to the casualties of the war and the gruesome dictatorship and since that a place for thinking and reflecting.
