THE HILL NOTRE DAME DU HAUT
Presentation
The Hill Notre-Dame du Haut, located in Ronchamp (Franche- Comté) in the east of France, is a place of great historical, artistic and spiritual value.
Le Corbusier built a chapel there in 1955. Jean Prouvé made a three-bell portico in the 1970's and recently, in 2011, Renzo Piano also worked on the hill.
Thus a harmonious architectural complex was created - composed of the Monastery of St. Clare, the tourist entrance pavilion (la Porterie), the Bell Tower (le Campanile) and the chapel of Notre-Dame du Haut.
The latter, an iconic building, is a candidate for the World Heritage List in 2016.
The Hill is a site of Marian pilgrimage.
Since 2009, a community of Poor Clares sisters has lived on the hill and maintained the spiritual vocation of the site.
