Saint Brice Chapel

St. Brice Chapel, first mentioned in 1361 stands on a wooded hill at an altitude of 470 meters above sea level. It is isolated, lying in a clearing 3 km northeast of the village of Oltingue . Archaeologists have found a Neolithic entrenchment around the site, bearing witness to the presence of man in this region more than 4,000 years ago.

It was partially rebuilt in 1669; Saint-Brice was once a renowned centre of pilgrimage, appearing on the map of Alsace under the name of St. Brixi in 1576.
55 iron ex-votos were discovered in 1910 in the attic and are now kept in the Strasbourg Archaeological Museum; in 1567 there was a hermitage near the chapel, now replaced by a farmhouse that attracts many tourists in summer.

A walking tour of 3km, the big trees trail, is a pleasant stroll through woodland to see the largest beech tree in the canton of Solothurn.
