À propos du lieu

Chapelle Sainte-Croix

10 chemin de la Chapelle, 57600 Forbach

Moselle
Grand Est

The chapel is on the mount Sainte-Croix: Keuzberg, who(which) offers a view(sight) on the forest massif of Warndt. She(It) is also on course for Santiago de Compostela de Sarre in Metz. Probably built in the XIIIth century, the chapel-hall(-market) Sainte-Croix will be altered in the course of XIVTH - XVTH centuries. The internal tympanum dates the XIIIth century. For a long time property of the family Camasse to Dope Two-decker, it is acquired(bought back) by the family of Wendel in 1824 and becomes property of the Coal mines of the Pond of Lorraine in 1946\. In 1969, the chapel was resumed(taken back) by the City of Forbach which assures(insures) restoration(catering) with the help of the Friends of the chapel Sainte-Croix.
