The Lady Chapel, Chapel of Peace Schinnen or chapel for Our Lady, Queen of Peace. The chapel stands on the western top of the Krekelberg and is located about 200 meters southeast of St. Dionysius Church.
In Schinnen there are two other Maria chapels. The chapel with Maria Park has had the status of a national monument since 1999 and is dedicated to Mary Queen of Peace.
In 1939 the chapel and the park were built by order of the church board of Schinnen and then consecrated. The architect was HHA Tummers from Heerlen. The chapel was built just before the outbreak of the Second World War.
The chapel stands atop the tree-covered hillside. It is accessible via a staircase and a circular walk from the Schinnen-Thull road at the foot of the hill. At the bottom of the hill is an entrance arch with the text 'Maria Park' in it.
There are a number of rows of benches both outside the chapel and inside the chapel. The brick chapel is built in Traditionalist style. The chapel consists of a rectangular nave with a gable/spout gable and a recessed broken gable roof and a slightly narrower but higher tower-shaped choir with a tent roof.
The pointed arch windows have stone keystones and latticework. The side gables of the nave and the four gables of the choir have a block-toothed cornice.
