| Kaaschtel mit Glockentürmchen |
Auf halbem Weg zwischen Mondorf und Altwies führt eine kleine Brücke über die Gander. Jenseits der Brücke am anderen Bachufer, schiebt sich ein Felsvorsprung in das enge Tal, schmiegt sich ganz nah an den Bach heran, der anmutig seine Schleife um die Felsnase bindet. Auf der Höhe krönt eine entzückende kleine Kapelle das Haupt dieser steinernen Schönheit. Die Bewohner entlang der beiden Ufer des kleinen Flusses haben diesem Felsenplateau, genauso wie der Kapelle, den Namen „Kastell“ gegeben, „De Kaaschtel“, as we say in Luxembourg table, or "Le Castel," as it affectionately call the Lorraine, on the ground is the castle today.
This place can boast of a past that was particularly laden with historical events.
Our Celtic ancestors 2,500 years ago were already using the steep cliff as a refuge because it was difficult to access. They blocked its south side by an earthen wall, which was several dozen meters high. This artificial hill is still visible today.
The Romans were around the year 119 AD under Emperor Hadrian, the large, strategically and economically important, Road Construction, by Lyons, Metz, and Trier Dalheim led towards Cologne. This road leads directly near Altwies and was a fortified port only, a "Kastellum", built on the site that was the time used by the Celts as a protective point, and that has for centuries, the rock and his band his or . its name.

It is expected that in the Roman era, a small temple or other Building with the military system was connected, because we got on the eastern slope of the hill, two shafts of columns and ornate capitals excavated.
the time of the Merovingian seems a small convent to have existed in Kaaschtel. In 1237 the Countess was Ermesinde in the Church of Holy Magdalena - later Abbey of the Holy Spirit in the City of Luxembourg - a donation to the convent and chapel in honor of the Redeemer.
The Chronicle of the parish Altwies shows that since 1571, a fraternity which called itself "by Saint Benoit", not only with the management of the Chapel of the Redeemer in Kaaschtel, but also deals with the allocation of donations was that had been raised by the many pilgrims.
For, since that same date is reported that the "Kaaschtel" a famous pilgrimage site in the former Duchy of Luxembourg was. They came from far away to this place and take part in this pilgrimage was prescribed by a fine, especially in the parishes of Frisange in Puttelange and Dalheim.
The official procession took place annually on Pfingtmontag and began at the Church of Mondorf in the direction of the sanctuary in Kaaschtel, where a solemn mass was then celebrated in front of the chapel.
The date "1611" in a door frame reminiscent of a passage to the chapel of the hermitage. A Lange Ancestry of hermits, the last of which died in 1826, lived in the Kaaschtel and took care of the preservation of the sanctuary with the proceeds from the offerings of the pilgrims.
The churchgoers came over the whole year. They prayed there to the Holy Saviour and the Holy Apollinia to alleviate their symptoms such as headache and toothache. The patients were able to get consecrated iron rings, which they then sat down during their Supplications on the head.
The altar of the chapel is a work of art that was created by renowned sculptors from GREEF Altwies. These are around the main altar of the former church of Mondorf and still bears the date of its production in 1696. The bell that adorns the handsome tower dates from the chapel of Wintrange and dates from 1701.
Visitors of Kaaschtel will probably stay in particular the enormous acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia) is not hidden, which gives the square in front of the Chapel shade. According to legend, it was the Lord of Preisch, is said to have brought the plant this tree from the Holy Land in order in 1787 to be implanted on the plateau. It was the first tree of this kind on the territory of the duchy.
The medieval chapel was a much more important than the present sanctuary building. As 1880, the roof collapse of the nave and also threatened the rear of necessary repairs made, fand man eine ausgefallene Lösung, die darin bestand, dass man die Bedachung bis auf die Grundmauer abriss, die heute noch als Umrissmauer des Innenhofes mit seinem Eingangstor zu sehen ist.
Dann legte man im Jahre 1908 eine Lourdesgrotte im rechten Eck dieses künstlichen Hofes an. Die gegenwärtige Kapelle, so hübsch und romantisch sie auch erscheinen mag, ist im Grunde nichts anderes als der Chorraum der früheren Kirche. Unter der Sakristei, die an die Kapelle angebaut wurde, befindet sich ein geheimnisvoller Gewölbekeller, dessen Ursprung bis in die Römerzeit zurückreicht.

Seit dem schlussendlichen Grenzverlauf im Jahre 1796 liegt das Kaaschtel on French soil.
Mondorf out of her one provided with landings uphill pilgrimage to the chapel. Along this path, accompanied the Cross, which is "the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin," the pilgrim on his way to the top.
The individual shrines of the road were made of stone and were built in 1913, but had over the years suffered due to the weather very much. They were replaced in 1988 by cast-iron plates, which modeled the Luxembourg artist Le Tanson proposed by the SI Mondorf / France for free. Traditionally, the community contributed
