Go there and contact
Notre-Dame chapel was built in 1658. It is located at the top of the village. Legend attributes its construction to the wish of a Lord of Rodemack who wants to escape his aggressors: The rock on which the chapel is erected, he jumped with his horse and was thus saved. Another version states that it was the villagers who built the building to thank the Virgin for the end of the Thirty Years War (the city of Rodemack found itself strongly affected by this war: there are no more than 40 homes compared with 110 in 1636 and the accompanying evils: plague, malnutrition, ruin. Stripped of its ornamental figures, today only the statue of Notre-Dame-du-Luxembourg, placed above the golden oak altar of the th century, is a heart of Christ and heads of angelots. A place of worship, Notre-Dame chapel is the subject of a stop during the visit of the village and pilgrimage on Pentecost Monday. Next to the chapel is one of the ten bildstock (German term to designate a cross or calvary) from the commune, dating from the th century and made by the sculptor Nicolas Greef Jr.
