    The Val des Nymphes chapel, also called Val des Nymphes priory, is a Romanesque chapel. It was built in the 13th century near a mysterious spring and among century-old oak trees.

      Here, in the "Val des Nymphes", a Christian church meets figures from pagan mythology. Nymphs were nature spirits or goddesses in the religious understanding of the time, but nowhere near as important as Mars, Neptune or even Zeus. They were often chosen as a motif in the visual arts, as they offered the opportunity to depict naked or only lightly dressed female figures.
      The church found here, with the title "Notre Dame" (in German "Our Dear Lady"), which is widespread in France, is also dedicated to a special woman who, although not a goddess herself, according to Christian understanding contributed to the divine plan of salvation - through her unconditional "yes" to the angel's message - namely the Mother of God Mary.
