The Notre-Dame des Marches chapel is a beautiful chapel and place of pilgrimage near Broc. Built in 1705 by three brothers, the chapel houses a Gothic statue of the Virgin Mary said to have performed miraculous healings. You can admire the astonishing stained glass windows of Alexandre Cingria and Emilio Beretta, which represent other famous sanctuaries around the world.

The Marian pilgrimage church Notre-Dame des Marches is located near Broc in the canton of Fribourg (Gruyere district) in Switzerland.

The church is located south of the village at the foot of the Dent de Broc. The castle of Gruyere is clearly visible from the church.

In the 13th and 14th centuries, a leper colony and an oratory were in operation. Numerous votive pictures (from 1636) with thanks for healings cover the walls of the church. The church dates from 1704. Major renovation work is being carried out for the 300th anniversary celebration on the occasion of the great pilgrimage in spring 2005. In May of each year, a pilgrimage for the sick takes place with over 800 people, mainly from western Switzerland.
