Chapelle et sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Dusenbach, Marian sanctuary in a valley at Ribeauvillé, France.

Notre-Dame de Dusenbach sanctuary contains two connected neo-gothic chapels constructed on an artificial platform at the foot of Ribeaupierre castles.

The first chapel emerged in 1221 when Egelolphe II of Ribeaupierre returned from the crusades and installed a Virgin Mary icon from the East.

The Alsatian minstrels established their association under Notre-Dame de Dusenbach patronage, making the sanctuary a spiritual center for regional musicians.

Located 2 kilometers from Ribeauvillé, the sanctuary includes rest areas and dining facilities for visitors who follow marked forest paths.

A water stream flowing toward Strengbach creates a constant murmur in the valley, accompanying worshippers' prayers for eight centuries.
