Notre Dame du Haut
The chapel of Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp ((フランス語:Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut de Ronchamp)), completed in 1954, is one of the finest examples of the architecture of Franco-Swiss architect Le Corbusier and one of the most important examples of twentieth-century religious architecture. The chapel is a working religious building and is under the guardianship of the private foundation Association de l’Oeuvre de Notre-Dame du Haut.〔Victoria Stapley-Brown (January 31, 2014), (Le Corbusier’s Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut vandalised ) ''The Art Newspaper''.〕 It attracts 80,000 visitors each year.
==History==
Notre Dame du Haut is commonly thought of as a more extreme design of Le Corbusier’s late style. Commissioned by the Association de l'Oeuvre Notre Dame du Haut, the chapel is a simple design with two entrances, a main altar, and three chapels beneath towers. Although the building is small, it is powerful and complex. The chapel is the latest of chapels at the site. The previous chapel was completely destroyed there during World War II. The previous building was a 4th-century Christian chapel. At the time the new building was being constructed, Corbusier was not exactly interested in “Machine Age” architecture but he felt his style was more primitive and sculptural. Also, he realized when he visited the site that he could not use mechanized means of construction, because access was too difficult.〔Germaine Greer (October 17, 2007), (A concrete version of dizzy rapture ) ''The Guardian''.〕
On January 17, 2014, Notre Dame du Haut became the target of a break-in. A concrete collection box was thrown outside, and one of the stained-glass windows, also designed by Le Corbusier and the only one on the chapel to carry his signature, was broken.
