In 963, Count Sigefroi had a castle built on the Bock rock, which laid the foundation for what would later become the city of Luxembourg. In the mid-18th century, the Austrians began to expand the casemates of the Bock rock. These impressive defensive structures provide a fascinating insight into the sophisticated fortress architecture that earned Luxembourg the nickname "Gibraltar of the North".

On the site of this chapel there once stood a pagan place of worship, which was later venerated as a sanctuary by the Romans from the beginning of Christianity onwards. The chapel is located near a rocky spring whose waters appear to have miraculous properties, especially for eye diseases. The site has been dedicated to Saint Quirin since the 11th century, and services have been held in the chapel's two caves since the beginning of the 13th century. The Gothic pilgrimage chapel, carved into the rock, dates back to 1355; the roof and small bell tower were added at the end of the 19th century.
