Chapel Saint Armuth

Located on the road leading from Avolsheim to Wolxheim, the chapel is linked to the legend of the blacksmith Conrad Giesselbrecht.

The first mention dates back to the year 1512. Demolished several times, the chapel of the Holy Poverty (Saint Armuthskapelle) and its hermitage were rebuilt in 1738, then sold as national property during the Revolution.

The chapel was then rebuilt in 1738, then sold as national property during the Revolution.

In 1808, it was restored to worship and a new hermit took up residence in the refurbished adjoining house. In 1861, the state of disrepair was such that a new, larger chapel was built on the site of the old one, as well as a new dwelling for the hermit.

The chapel was restored to its original state in 1861.

In 1979, following a fire, only the sanctuary was saved.

Unrestored interior.

The chapel cannot be visited.
