Sint Rosakapel, een pareltje met een rijke historie

Kapellerweg (hoek Kollenbergerweg) 16
Sittard
The Sint Rosakapel is located on top of the Kollenberg in Sittard. A small building, made of brick and marl, with a great and rich history. The chapel was built in 1675 in honor of Rosa, the patron saint of Sittard. In 1668 a dysentery epidemic broke out in Sittard, which claimed many victims. At the intercession of Rosa, the contagious disease stopped.

The city council then promised to hold a procession to the Saint Rosa Chapel every year, on the last Sunday in August. Sittard has kept its promise and since 1675 this famous thanksgiving procession has taken place every year. In the month of August you can also view the chapel from the inside, between 2 and 4.30 pm.
