The term "shell tower" refers to a tower that was usually open or only lightly fortified on the side facing away from the town, thus serving as a convenient defensive or observation post. In the Middle Ages, Vianden was surrounded by a ring wall with numerous towers.

A tourist source describes the chapel as the result of a church dispute between the upper and lower towns of Vianden. After Trinitarian monks settled in the upper town in 1248 and the parishes were divided in 1256, the Trinitarians took over the chapel in 1312 following the dissolution of the Knights Templar. In remembrance of the Templars, they dedicated it to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of travelers. The altarpiece in the chancel, featuring a statue of Saint Nicholas, dates from 1768.

Small, discreet and unexpected chapel in the village of Château de Vianden, a real village center.

The inconspicuous St. Nicholas Chapel has an eventful history. A story like something out of a heroic epic from the early Middle Ages. Until 1256, Vianden was subordinate to a neighboring community under canon law. In 1248, the Count of Vianden settled Trinitian monks in the upper town, who were the first to build a church within the castle walls of the upper town. That's how the argument started. On the one hand the newly settled Trinitian monks with their new church and on the other hand the Templar order from the neighboring town, to which Vianden was subject under canon law. In 1256 the Archbishop of Trier was forced to speak out. He divided the upper and lower towns into two parishes and had the Templars build a church. In defiance of the division, the Templars built the church close to the border with the upper city, which was drawn by the River Our. The Order of the Templars named their church “Capella Militum”, based on the term “Magister Militum” (Master of the Army), to express their claim. In 1312 the Templar Order was dissolved. The chapel was taken over by the Trinitian monks and the two parishes were reunited. In order to forget the memory of the Templar Order and the division of the parish, they renamed the pretty chapel the St. Nicholas Church.
