The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La maison d'école actuelle, située à côté de l'église de Bergheim, conserve les vestiges d'une construction plus ancienne qui, d'après Kraus, aurait servi d'ossuaire. Ces vestiges se composent d'une porte d'entrée et de deux arcades, jumelées. Cette porte et ces arcades sont ornés d'un intéressant décor sculpté, de caractère Renaissance. Entre les arcades figure une inscription, indéchiffrable, où seule se reconnaît la date de 1550 - qui se retrouve également sur la porte d'entrée ou se distinguent, de même quelques lettres sculptées dans la pierre.

The current schoolhouse, situated beside the church of Bergheim, preserves the vestiges of an older construction which, according to Kraus, would have served as an ossuary. These vestiges consist of an entrance door and two arcades, paired together. This door and these arcades are adorned with interesting carved decoration, of Renaissance character. Between the arcades figures an inscription, indecipherable, where only the date of 1550 is recognizable - which is also found again on the entrance door where are distinguished, likewise some letters sculpted in the stone.
