Culture and History
The parish of Rupt-sur-Moselle probably dates back to the 7th century. After a monastery was founded on Saint Mont, a chapel was built on the site of today’s Église Saint-Étienne. Today’s Église Saint-Étienne was extended from 1846 onwards; the bell tower and its base from the former church were preserved.
The organ of the Église Saint-Étienne was inaugurated in 1877 and reinstalled in December 1997. The Vierge à l’Enfant dite Notre-Dame de Rupt is a 14th-century statue and was classified as a protected object on 7 September 1957. It is located in a church in Rupt-sur-Moselle, in a chapel to the right of the entrance.
