Ronchamp | Notre Dame de Haut and Le Corbu... - Secret World

13 Rue de la Chapelle, 70250 Ronchamp, Francia

by Sara Hoffer

Famed architect Le Corbusier designed Notre Dame de Haut, Ronchamp.This modernist church in eastern France near the Swiss border in 1953 to replace a chapel that had been destroyed there during World War II. Although the walls are more than ten feet thick, the Corbusier-designed stained glass windows and the gap between the roof and the tops of the walls bring plenty of light into the space.
