Built in 1888 according to the plans of the architect Chenevier, the Chapel of Saint Joseph is composed of a ground floor, a gallery on the first floor and is topped by a statue of Saint Joseph which dominates the upper town.
The use of metal in the construction of the chapel makes it a resolutely modern building. It is the first time in France that wrought iron was used for the structural work. One can admire fine cast iron columns, elegant openwork arches in cut iron or a wrought iron balustrade.
The furniture is also part of the beauty of this building. The oak wood stalls, the work of the Nancy sculptor Klem, are so refined that they look like lace. The cycle of the Stations of the Cross was created by the painter Moicelet.
Dismantled for its preservation during the Great War, the chapel was used as a hospital and then reassembled identically.
