The Chapelle Notre-Dame des Buis, also known as the chapelle des Buis, is a Christian building dating back to at least the 17th century. It is located in Besançon, in the La Boucle district, and is considered one of the most remarkable chapels in the city.
History: Although no official documentation is available, it is believed that the site may have housed a small temple to Mercury in Roman times, or perhaps even a cave where a hermit named Saint Leonard resided. A 13th-century hermitage stood on this site before the current chapel was built, sometime between the 17th and 19th centuries. After being damaged in 1815, the chapel was restored and expanded in 1865.
Architecture: The chapel consists of three stacked plinths with stairs on all four sides. On top is a cube-shaped block with a statue of a woman raising her arms to the sky, symbolizing resurrected freedom. The Chapelle Notre-Dame des Buis is a place of historical significance and a tribute to those who have prayed and reflected here over the centuries. 🙏🕊️
