Wallfahrtsstadt Kevelaer

Pilgrimage town of Kevelaer - a place of relaxation

With around 800,000 visitors and pilgrims a year, the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer is one of the most important pilgrimage towns in Germany. In the centre is the Chapel Square with the Chapel of Grace and the image of the Virgin Mary ‘Comforter of the Afflicted’. Surrounded by St Mary's Basilica, the Candle Chapel and other sacred buildings, Chapel Square radiates a soothing calm and atmosphere. People from all over the world come here to seek solace, recharge their batteries or enjoy the special flair. The town centre with its numerous historic buildings and cosy cafés and restaurants invites you to stroll and linger.

The St. Jakob brine garden offers the perfect combination. Here you can promote your own health by using the inhalatorium, visiting the graduation house, which is pleasantly cool in summer, the respiratory tract or the fitness equipment. Information buildings, catering and a hotel round off the offer. The vitality hiking trails also start here and regular vitality programmes are offered.

Kevelaer is a perfect starting point for cycling tours, hikes and wellness programmes, which are wonderfully enriched by guided tours and the offers in the St. Jakob brine garden.

The ‘Irrland’ in Kevelaer-Twisteden delights hundreds of thousands of visitors every year with a constant stream of new attractions, making it one of the most popular amusement parks on the Lower Rhine.
