Description

The chapel, rebuilt in 1757 on the site of an earlier one, was destroyed in 1940.
It could be found to the west of the village.
The chapel housed a number of monumental paintings, the majority by Oster of Strasbourg, dating from around 1830. They had been restored in around 1920 by the painters Fenger from Niederlauterbach and Eisenmann from Lauterbourg. It also housed numerous ex-votos but, apparently, none have survived.
The chapel has eleven stained glass windows in slab glass, works produced in 1962 by Tristan Ruhlmann. The nave contains six, illustrated with themes on the Virgin Mary, and the choir contains another four in geometrical designs, and the gable oculus.
