It is 26 m high and the thickness of its walls varies from 1.50 to 1.80 m. It is located exactly in the middle of the old fortified enclosure. The nave, erected by the Cistercian abbey of Clairefontaine (in 1782), has undergone several transformations and renovations, in 1927-1928 by the architect Joseph Jentgen and in 1981 by the architect Jean Petit.

Symbol of the city, the Holy Cross Chapel has watched over the inhabitants of the city since 1737. The majestic stone cross placed in the apse is its centrepiece. The building that can be admired today was built - or rebuilt - in 1737, as indicated on the stone above the entrance door. Three Stations of the Cross (1627, 1875 and 1956) along the way are known.
