The Saint-Brice chapel, attested in 1361, stands on a wooded hill at an altitude of 470 metres. It is situated 3 km north-east of the village of Oltingue in a clearing. Archaeologists have found a Neolithic entrenchment around the site, which bears witness to the presence of man in these lands more than 4000 years ago.
It was partially rebuilt in 1669; formerly Saint-Brice was a famous pilgrimage site, appearing in 1576 on the map of Alsace under the name of Saint-Brixi
55 iron ex-votos were discovered in 1910 in the attic and are now kept in the archaeological museum of Strasbourg; in 1567 a hermitage stood near the chapel, now replaced by a farmhouse inn which attracts many tourists in good weather.
A 3km walking trail, the path of the big trees, allows you to take a pleasant stroll under forest cover to discover in particular the biggest beech tree in the canton of Solothurn.
