Funerary Chapel

Commissioned by manufacturer Jean-Baptiste Muller and his wife Caroline Baumlin in the mid-19th century, this neo-Gothic funerary chapel was built as an addition to their castle.

Its architecture is part of the Alsatian neo-Gothic movement, particularly flourishing in the Bruche Valley during its industrialization. The identity of its architect remains unknown, though some experts do not rule out the involvement of Viollet-le-Duc himself.

Beneath its engraved slabs lie several major figures of the local industry, including the Coulaux family and the mother of Canon Paul Muller Simonis. With its exceptional monumentality for a private chapel in Alsace, it reflects the ambition of its patrons.

Listed as a historic monument, it is now privately owned and not open to the public.
