Ste-Vérène (German: St. Verena) is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage chapel near the village of Enchenberg in Lorraine. The chapel plays a significant role in the religious life of the Bitche region. It was listed as a historical monument in 1996. Its preservation is overseen by the Association for the Preservation of the Chapel of Sainte-Vérène. The chapel was built in the 15th century and enlarged in 1685. However, four construction periods are evident in the building. The simple Romanesque choir windows suggest an even older predecessor from the early Middle Ages. A window and door from the late Gothic period are considered architectural masterpieces. Two Renaissance-style gable windows on the west side date from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. The entrance to the chapel is in a naive Baroque style. The terracotta Virgin Mary also dates from this period. The choir, made of large, plastered sandstone blocks, creates an unusual scene with its Gothic arches. The old altar disappeared around 1960 and resurfaced damaged in November 1991. It has now returned to its place in the chapel. It is said to be a work by Johann Martersteck, a master from Bouquenom. The attribution can be considered relatively certain due to its strong similarity to the Rahling retable, which was also by Martersteck. The old, richly painted church windows disappeared around 1960. They were only replaced in 2000 by figurative paintings by the artist Sauveur Pasqual. The gable window depicts Saint Verena with her insignia of jug and comb. Next to it, Saint Maurice is depicted with a red flag and a broken sword. A Gothic window depicts Saints Ursus and Victor, martyrs of the Theban Legion like Maurice. Adjacent to the chapel is a Lourdes Grotto, built in 1958 to celebrate the centenary of the miracles of Lourdes. About 100 meters below the chapel rises a spring with very soft water, which may have contributed to the choice of the site and served to supply the hermits living there. It has also been used by the residents of Enchenberg since ancient times as a washing place. Source: Wikipedia

A beautiful chapel, accessible through the picturesque Felsenweihertal valley. A special place.

Porte de Strasbourg - The Strasbourg Gate (1859) This gate is the only remaining part of the city's last fortification system. It was a drawbridge gate, and bullet holes from wars of the past two centuries are still visible. On the upper side of the gate is Memorial Room 39-45, which can be visited.

Very quiet and pleasant to walk around.

There are several parking lots near the pond and we always found a space.

Very large playground, even adults can go inside to accompany young children. There are several slides and lots of very fun corners for children.
