Overview

Harmonious, inspired by nature, moving, luminous... there is no shortage of words to describe La Chapelle Notre-Dame du Haut in Rochamp (France) and its curves. To create this Catholic place, at the beginning of the 1950s, Le Corbusier was inspired by the mosque of the Algerian Sahara of Sidi Brahim, by a crab shell for the shapes of the roof, and by the nearby Vosges valleys. .. Multiple influences for a building full of contradictions, a mixture of round and square lines, slender or squat depending on the angle of view, apparently vast from the outside, but small and intimate from the threshold crossed.

Both a place of contemplation and major architectural innovation, the Chapelle de Ronchamp has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1965. Labeled “Heritage of the 20th century” in 1999, it entered the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2016 with 16 others works of Le Corbusier.

La Chapelle de Ronchamp

Taglines

Overview

Harmonieuse, inspirée de la nature, émouvante, lumineuse... les qualificatifs pour évoquer La Chapelle Notre-Dame du Haut à Rochamp (France) et ses courbes ne manquent pas. Pour créer ce lieu catholique,au début des années 1950, Le Corbusier s'est inspiré à la fois de la mosquée du Sahara algérien de Sidi Brahim, d'une carapace de crabe pour les formes du toit, des vallons des Vosges toutes proches... Des influences multiples pour un édifice plein de contradictions, mélange de lignes rondes et carrées, élancé ou trapu selon l'angle de vue, apparemment vaste vu de l'extérieur, mais petit et intime dès le seuil franchi.

A la fois lieu de recueillement et innovation architecturale majeure, la Chapelle de Ronchamp est inscrite aux Monuments Historiques depuis 1965. Labellisée "Patrimoine du XXème siècle" en 1999, elle est entrée au Patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco en 2016 avec 16 autres oeuvres de Le Corbusier.
