The Conseil Consultatif du Patrimoine Mulhousien [www.ccpm.asso.fr/portfolio-view/chapelle-saint-jean/] [accessed 15 April 2016] notes: "La chapelle, consacrée en 1269, faisait partie de la commanderie des Hospitaliers de St-Jean de Jérusalem. Elle repose sur des fondations plus anciennes, sans doute celles d’une ancienne église paroissiale. Agrandie en 1351 et vers 1500". [NB: we have no information of the font of the original parish church here].
