What stands there

1 Marian pilgrimage chapel, listed as a monument historique in 2000

This Marian pilgrimage sanctuary, attested from 1334, was enlarged in 1515 and again by the Franciscans of Rouffach at the end of the 17th century. A nearby rock, nicknamed the "Druids' Table", is linked to the legend of the Devil, who is said to have tried to sabotage the rebuilding of 1515 and left the mark of his finger there — a centuries-old local legend, not an archaeological attestation. Listed as a monument historique in 2000.
