The Beilsturm is an outwork of the old town fortifications of Neuerburg from the 16th century. From the top, newly designed observation platform, there is a beautiful view over the medieval Neuerburg.
The small, very well-kept chapel is located - coming from the direction of Mayen - directly at the entrance to the village of Ettringen on the left side. Since 1896, it has stood on the spot where a stone cross had stood since the earliest times - the Mayener Kreuzchen, as the people of Ettringen say.
