Chapelle Saint-Florent

The Chapelle Saint-Florent stands directly on the lake on a small hill on the southern outskirts of Xonrupt-Longemer.
It was built in 1449 at the place where the hermit Bilon lived around 1050.
After complete destruction, the chapel was rebuilt in 1727.

Located on the shores of Lake Longemer, the small chapel was built around 1449 by the ladies canonesses of Remiremont to perpetuate the memory of Bilon, officer of Gérard d'Alsace.
In 1056 Bilon, who became a hermit, founded an oratory and a cell on a hillock on the left bank of the lake.
- After the chapel fell into disrepair, it was rebuilt in 1727 and dedicated to Saint-Florent, Bishop of Strasbourg.
In 1830, a safe containing a skeleton and a chain was discovered there.
- The chapel became the property of the municipality of Xonrupt-Longemer in 1956. The hill on which she stands at the edge of the lake is called "Butte Bilon".

The Saint-Florent Chapel, located near Lake Longemer, is a historic place of worship dedicated to Saint Florent, a local patron saint. It attracts pilgrims and visitors because of its picturesque architecture and peaceful spiritual atmosphere.
