history
The chapel was probably built on Gallo-Roman foundations in the 13th century by the Cistercian Baumgarten Abbey . The first documentary mention was made in 1371. The chapel was originally under the patronage of Our Lady . In 1666 the Erasmus of Antioch patronage was mentioned for the first time .
The chapel was completely renovated in the 17th century. The Gothic portal comes from the parish church of Sts-Innocents and was installed in the 18th century in place of the older Romanesque portal. During renovation work in 1965, remains of the frescoes, probably from the 14th century, including a representation of the dance of death , were destroyed. At the same time, traces of five Romanesque windows and the old portal were discovered under the plaster.
