Built in the 1937 th century on a narrow rock in Kreuzberg, Kreuz Kappel (its name in platt) has been classified in historical monuments since. The current choir choir is more recent than the nave to which it stands. His eardrum with his ground of crucifixion is a creation of a local artist of the th century. At the entrance to the chapel, the calvary is a baroque work of the th century. A legend says that the Alice Alice of Werd, known as Alice's Alice, would have withdrawn after the violent death of two enemy brothers, his contenders, whose rivalry she would have stirred up. She would be buried at the foot of her oratory. In the late 1970 s, researchers found a tomb carved in the rock in this place… Badly over centuries and wars, part of his statues were saved by the inhabitants, who hid them during the Revolution. Since 2007, it is a step on the road to Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO World Heritage Route.

Sur la route de Compostelle, cette jolie petite chapelle vous permet une halte fort sympathique. Les religieuses qui y vivent, dans un logement attenant à la chapelle, vous propose de faire valider votre passage vers St Jacques ! Gratuit

Etant petite ma mère m'emmenait souvent à la Chapelle et nous y allions en "pelerinage", habitant alors au Habsterdick, cité de Stiring Wendel. Nous y allions parfois à la messe, et même à un mariage. Lorsque je suis dans la région j'y retourne périodiquement. C'est un endroit un peu magique, et on peut s'y recueillir, car l'espace est petit et propice à la méditation et la prière. Le lieu et son architecture est un peu insolite, cat entouré de cités de mineurs des anciennes Houillères du bassin de Lorraine.
