    The Bollenberg chapel, also called the Sainte-Appolonia chapel or the Witches' chapel (here “Haksekapel”),

    sits on a rocky outcrop of Jurassic limestone, reaching an altitude of 363 meters among vineyards.

    The current chapel dates only from the 19th century. But the site is old. It’s probably from “Belen”,

    the Celtic god of fire associated with pastoral life, named after him from Bollenberg.

    The chapel is oriented with a 3-sided chevet pierced with 2 occuli. A large wooden cross dominates the roof, visible from afar.

    The nave is lit by the ogival glass door protected by a grid.

    Inside, we see a large grid separating the nave from the choir where a large cross dominates the altar.
