20의 벨론샹가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Notre-Dame-du-Haut pilgrimage chapel, 1950 The Notre-Dame-du-Haut chapel in Ronchamp is the icon of Christian sacred architecture that revolutionized church building in the 20th century. The chapel is in a dominant position on a hill at the Burgundian Gate near Belfort. Apart from its rather bare summit, this hill is wooded, as are the neighboring hills. Le Corbusier took into account the trees, the views into the distance and the horizon line in his design. The basic features of the design for the chapel were created in just a few days: an asymmetrical building, curved walls, vaulted by a roof whose shape is reminiscent of the shell of a crab. The asymmetry broke with the traditional idea of a cruciform church floor plan. A unified church space was created, without a side or transept, which is nevertheless oriented towards the east.

In addition to the chapel, Le Corbusier built two smaller buildings, the guard's house and the pilgrim's house, which contains bedrooms and a kitchen. A step pyramid, also built from ruined stones and dedicated to the victims of the fighting in 1944, completes the architectural ensemble.

beautiful ascent, mostly through the forest – ideal for summer

Last architectural witness to the Ronchamp coal mines.

From Plancher-Bas or Plancher-les-Mines, the only difficulty is the Belfahy hill: around 500 m at 10-15%.

At the top of the summit!

The Sainte-Marie pit is a coal mine pit of the Houillères de Ronchamp. It worked from 1866 to 1958. The shaft is now backfilled but the surface framework remains. A fascinating insight into history.
