Already mentioned in 1144, listed as a Historic Monument since 1995, this chapel is an ancient place of worship as it is dedicated to St Martin. It was originally the Church of Sondersdorf, whose inhabitants settled in the 12th century on the heights, on the current location of the village to escape the floods of the river Ill.
In 1778, the present village church was built, which meant that the Hippoltskirch was abandoned as a place of pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary. In 1781 the church underwent major renovations, giving it its present appearance. A hermit guarded the sanctuary until 1920, when the forest house above the chapel was built
In 1902, lightning struck the chapel, tearing off part of the roof that covered the altar of the Virgin, shattering and knocking down everything near the statue, which alone remained intact..
