Chapelle Notre Dame de Grunenwald

Grünenwald Notre Dame Chapel stands on the wooded ridge that separates the valley of the Largue from that of the Suarcine. The latter is both the boundary between the Upper Rhine area and the Territory of Belfort and an ancient linguistic border between areas of Germanic and Latin speech. During the week this place perched on the heights is quiet and you can relax in the shade of lime trees. The chapel undoubtedly dates back to the 15th century, although the Crowned Virgin cannot be dated precisely. Some children found the statue in theundergrowth. They gave it to the commander of the Order of Knights of St John of Jerusalem,who built the first chapel on the site. The chapel is open every day and the key can be obtained from the ‘‘Au Sapin’’ restaurantnext door. Visit free of charge all year round. Guided tours for groups by appointment
