Origin and history

The chapel Saint-Antoine de Rambervillers is a religious building built in the 2nd quarter of the 16th century, located in the city of Rambervillers, in the department of Vosges (Great East region). It is distinguished by its characteristic architecture, including its foothills in the shape of an accolades and its windows arranged in pairs. At the entrance, a niche houses a statue of St.Antoine, dominating the ensemble, while the interior, without furniture, has walls decorated with small crosses of Lorraine. The violin tiles, added in the 19th century, complete its exterior appearance.

The chapel has been protected as historical monuments since 1 November 1933 by an inscription order. This status underscores its heritage importance, although its detailed history and potential sponsors or builders are not specified in available sources. Its exact address, according to the Merimée base, is 27 Faubourg de la Chipotte, 88700 Rambervillers, in a geolocation with a precision deemed "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10).

Architecturally, the chapel illustrates a mixture of styles, with late Gothic elements (buttress, twin windows) and later additions like 19th century tiles. The crosses of Lorraine, regional symbols, reinforce its local anchor. No information is available on its current use (visits, worship, etc.), nor on any historical characters related to its foundation or evolution. The sources mention only its inscription to the heritage and its precise location.
