Built by the knight Simon of Hombourg between 1250 and 1270, it initially was a private chapel, surrounded by the buildings of the knights' castle. Its towers and walls made up the outer part of a big medieval castle.
The chapel was renovated in 1706, 1897 and 1984. It was registered as a listed building in 1895 under German authority and again in 1930 as Monument historique.[1]
