The chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Saint-Rosaire is located in the territory of the former municipality of Aumontzey. Construction began on 19 May 1913, and the chapel was inaugurated on 19 April 1914. Its architecture is inspired by the style of an Oriental temple. The chapel was intended to provide factory workers with a more accessible place of worship than the church in Jussarupt. Beneath it was a hall with a stage, intended for theatrical performances by young people from the surrounding area. A concrete water tower was installed in the false bell tower, supplying drinking water to the adjoining workers’ housing.
