This chapel was built in 1905. It was consecrated on September 23, 1906 and dedicated to the Holy Cross. With a cross-shaped floor plan and a neo-Gothic style, it is located in the middle of the vineyard at the foot of the Rittersberg. It remains a privileged place for walks with views of the village and the plain. There you will find yourself at the beginning of the small wine trail, about 1 hour and the hike to Ortenbourg Castle. This sanctuary is maintained by benefactors.
