Chapelle Notre-Dame
Rue Notre Dame, 67120 Molsheim
The Notre-Dame chapel, built more than 150 years ago in the Neo-Gothic style, is a convent chapel, built by the canons of St Augustine, sisters of Notre-Dame, dedicated to the Sacred Heart.
The sisters being cloistered, it was necessary to build a chapel with a nave reserved for the sisters, and that we call the room of the canons, room restored with happiness 4 years ago and open to the public on the occasion of the days of the heritage. The sisters had a boarding school, the boarders had a side aisle (to the right of the choir) and the main aisle was open to parishioners who wanted to come to Mass with the nuns. Despite a few years of abandonment of the chapel and thanks to the tenacity and work of some former residents who created the association of Friends of the Chapel, this building has been restored, a large part of the furniture has been kept and the paintings of the vault and choir cleaned are remarkable.
Note a large staircase that goes up to the main entrance. We do not yet
