Description In the late 19th century CE, French scholars built a musum of sorts for the local artefacts in the general shape of a classical temple at the very top of the altar stone at 1009 Meter altitude. It has now become a popular landmark symbol, although it is the least old thing up here, other than the antenna, of course. The artefacts were take to the Strasbourg musum. During both world wars, the site was used for anti aircraft sites.
