Chapelle Sainte-Odile

Perched on its sandstone promontory, the St. Odile Chapel slightly overlooks the Zorn valley. Jean-Jacques Bernauer, a miller in Neustadtmuhle, had the chapel built in 1740, the date engraved on the lintel at the entrance. In 1740, the neighbouring communities of Neustadtmuhle and Schaeferhof were under the protection of St. Odile, patron saint of Alsace. This chapel served as a place of worship for the inhabitants of the surrounding area for whom the parish church in Dabo was too far away. After many vicissitudes, it was restored in 1925 and became a well-known place of pilgrimage in the middle of the last century. Inside, paintings evoke the life of Saint Odilia. On the roof stands a bell tower topped by a bulb, in which hangs a 36 kg bell dating from 1743.
How to get there: towards Dabo via D98C then D45 the chapel overlooks the road on the left between Neustadtmuhle and Schaeferhof.
