First mention of the chapel in 1598, then new construction 1621-23. Destruction under the revolution, then reconstruction in 1816. Frescoes painted in 1950.

Many churches in France, including this chapel, are dedicated to the Virgin Mary under the widely used title "Notre-Dame" (in German: "Our Dear Lady"). A brief thought on the Mother of God from Albino Luciani (Pope John Paul I):
"Mary is indeed our sister, as Saint Ambrose says. She led a life very similar to ours. It is of course beautiful to venerate Mary as the Virgin and Mother of God, as the one conceived immaculately by original sin and taken up into heaven; but she is also the Madonna of plates, brooms and cooking pots..."
The visitor to the small Marian shrine can decide for himself which "Notre-Dame" he would like to venerate here.
