Een rondleiding die leidt naar de ruïnes van de kapel van de Mont Saint-Michel. Volgens de legende werd het in de 13e eeuw gebouwd om een melaatse ridder te huisvesten die terugkeerde van een kruistocht. Hij was de echtgenoot van de dochter van Heer Arnoux II, heer van Volkrange. Hij woonde er 10 jaar voordat hij in de hermitage van de kapel werd begraven.

The Notre-Dame des Neiges chapel in Beuvange-sous-Saint-Michel was built in 1805. The architecture is simple, with a single nave ending in a flat chevet, and no particular decoration. It houses a Baroque-inspired high altar dating from 1715, with a later lower section. The whole must have been modified during the 18th century. It also features a polychrome high relief, dated 1586, depicting Saint Michael slaying the dragon. This sculpture was moved to the chapel in 1840, when the hermitage on Mont Saint Michel, from which it originates, was in danger of collapsing.
Hermitage and chapel known as "du Lépreux" or "du Mont-Saint-Michel" (Beuvange-sous-Saint-Michel): small chapel and hermitage built around 1250 atop the Mont Saint-Michel hill, north of Beuvange-sous-Saint-Michel. The complex was intended to house the knight Guerlach de Neuersbourg, who had contracted leprosy during the 7th Crusade. On his death some ten years later, his fiancée Irmengarde (daughter of Volkrange lord Arnoux II) established four annual masses in his honor (still attested to in the 17th century). In 1455, the chapel was restored in Gothic style. At the same time, a brotherhood was formed in Beuvange-sous-Saint-Michel to ensure its upkeep. In 1655, the chapel was again restored and enlarged by Elisabeth de Nassau. In the 18th century, the hermitage was still occupied, and masses were held in the chapel until 1803. The building was then abandoned. Today, only a few vestiges remain.
