The chapel was built in 1726 thanks to the generosity of the pedlar Jean-François Sonnier, mayor of Neuf-Brisach in Alsace (a road was named after him there). In 1755, his nephew Antoine Violland refurbished it. He also had the surroundings flattened for the processions and lime trees planted. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Hermits of Einsiedeln who is worshiped at the Einsiedeln abbey in Switzerland, famous pilgrimage site since the Xth century. Many savoyard pedlars, who often travel to Alemannic areas, made this pilgrimage. Inside, an ex-voto painting and a Swiss Black Madonna are worth to look. Pleasant picnic place.
