1. Mariakapel / Marian Chapel Marker
Deze Mariakapel is een exacte kopie van het uit 1950 daterende houten kapelletje, dat destijds links van de Geulbrug, in de Pelerinstraat stond.
Later, rond 1975, is de kapel verplaatst naar de Bogaardlaan, waar ze tot 2010 heeft gestaan; tijdens de reconstructie van de Geulkademuren in 2010 zijn kapel en sokkel verwijderd.
De kapel werd in de volksmond "t Kepelke bie de brφg genoemd.
Op initiatief van Stichting Veldkruus met medewerking van diverse vrijwilligers en sponsoren is de kapel hier herbouwd, vlak bij de plek waar ze in het Mariajaar 1950, door pastoor Ad Welters, zaliger gedachtenis, werd ingezegend.
Ter gelegenheid van de feestdag van Maria Boodschap is de kapel in maart 2014 opnieuw ingezegend door pastoor H. Jansen, Montfortaan.
De kapel is eigendom van de parochie H.H. Nicolaas en Barbara.
This Marian chapel is an exact copy of the wooden chapel dating from 1950, which at the time stood to the left of the Geul bridge, on Pelerinstraat.
Later, around 1975, the chapel was moved to the Bogaardlaan, where it stood until 2010; during the reconstruction of the Geul quay walls in 2010, the chapel and pedestal were removed.
The chapel was popularly called "t Kepelke bie de brφg" (little chapel by the bridge).
At the initiative of the Veldkruus Foundation, with the cooperation of various volunteers and sponsors, the chapel was rebuilt here, close to the place where it was blessed in the Marian year of 1950 by pastor Ad Welters, of blessed memory.
On the occasion of the feast day of the Annunciation, the chapel was blessed again in March 2014 by pastor H. Jansen, Montfortaan.
The chapel is owned by the parish of Sts. Nicolaas and Barbara.
