Many churches in France, including this chapel, are dedicated to the Virgin Mary under the widely used title "Notre-Dame" (in German: "Our Dear Lady"). A brief thought on the Mother of God from Albino Luciani (Pope John Paul I): "Mary is indeed our sister, as Saint Ambrose says. She led a life very similar to ours. It is of course beautiful to venerate Mary as the Virgin and Mother of God, as the one conceived immaculately by original sin and taken up into heaven; but she is also the Madonna of plates, brooms and cooking pots..." The visitor to the small Marian shrine can decide for himself which "Notre-Dame" he would like to venerate here.

This small hill is known in the region as an ancient Roman camp, certainly because of the Roman road located nearby. However, no remains have been found to date.

Description found on the Alsace Heritage Inventory website: The site, in the forest, is made up of several ruined buildings (lime kilns and housing buildings) located on either side of a path. The whole forms a valley approximately 6 meters deep. Several lime kilns are aligned on one side of the valley, each including: 2 low furnaces buried in the lower part (base of the device surrounded by a small embankment) which was originally covered by a wooden frame of which it remain the crows in the wall; loading of the blast furnace was done through the mouth made at its top (at the level of the top of the valley). The inner tank has the shape of a well built of bricks. Two buildings (probably housing) rise on the other side of the valley, each 1 storey, made of rubble, with window frames in yellow sandstone. Metal beams supported the floor.
