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.

Last architectural witness to the Ronchamp coal mines.

The base of the Saline is a perfect leisure area for enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking, running or cycling. There are several picnic spots there. Swimming is prohibited.

The Grand Saint Maurice pond is located in the heart of the Grande Pile peat bog. This wetland is essential for biodiversity, and is home to rare species of flora and fauna. It is a popular place for bird watching and hiking.

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.

The Notre-Dame du Haut chapel is a Catholic chapel built in two years, from 1953 to 1955. This rather bizarre structure but with magnificent curves is the work of the famous architect Le Corbusier. This building is one of 16 buildings by Le Corbusier inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016.
