The Chapel and Traces of Local History

The historic chapel dates from 1816 and was partly remodelled in 1980. It is considered a testament to the village’s religious tradition. Ammeldingen an der Our may be Germany’s smallest place with its own church. The agricultural building at house number 5 dates from the 17th century; together with the chapel, it reveals different historical layers of the village.

Ammeldingen was first mentioned in a document in 767. In the 12th century, the settlement was called Oingelingen, and in 1570, Ameldingen. Until the French Revolution, Ammeldingen an der Our belonged to the County of Vianden. These changing names and political affiliations give local history a long timeline alongside the historic buildings.
