    This chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Victory, built between July and September 1916 in homage to those who fell in battle of the French 68th B.C.A. The chapel was named after the battalion commander, Captain Pascal Sicurani, who died at the top of the HWK on December 22, 1915.

      A beautiful little chapel in the middle of the forest, accessible from the ridge road by mountain bike or from the Zimmermann cross on foot, not to be missed

        Even in pre-Christian times, it was customary in various cultures to ask pagan deities for assistance before a battle, as well as to thank them for (presumed) divine assistance after a victory. In a modified form, this cult also appears in medieval Christianity, where military successes were attributed not only to the soldiers' fighting skills or the strategy of their leaders, but also to thank the Mother of God for the heavenly assistance—which had previously been requested.
