Die 1953 bis 1955 von Le Corbusier erbaute Kapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut gilt als eine der Architekturikonen unserer Zeit. Sie liegt auf einem Hügel oberhalb des Ortes Ronchamp.

Ich habe ganz bewußt das Zuiko ED 7-14 eingesetzt um die ungewöhnliche Architektur zu unterstreichen.

Ronchamp: Renzo Piano meets Le Corbusier
Designed by Le Corbusier and built between 1950 and 1955, the famous Notre-Dame-du-Haut chapel in Ronchamp, eastern France, got a new lease of life in autumn 2011 thanks to the Ronchamp Demain project. Among new additions are a visitors’ centre, La Porterie, and a convent, both designed by Renzo Piano. The project’s goal was transforming the hill crowned by the famous chapel designed by Le Corbusier into a modern, environmentally friendly tourist destination and a ‘global’ place of worship. The idea was born during the chapel’s 60th anniversary in 2005. Its advocates thought to build a convent which, they imagined, might be designed by Renzo Piano, one of the world’s star architects and an ‘artist’ of construction materials. The Italian architect’s work was much appreciated by the association, who imagined that a convent designed by Piano would measure up to French icon Le Corbusier’s chapel. That was before he met Sister Brigitte, abbess of the Poor Clarisse’s order, who was expected to move to Ronchamp with the six other nuns who were living in the old convent of Besançon.
Once the deal was sealed, Piano’s talent did the rest. The architect, who has signed a great many significant world projects (Bern’s Paul Klee Centre; Amsterdam’s NEMO Science Centre), has managed the difficult task of discreetly placing the monastic building in the western slope of the hill. The convent holds twelve small nuns’ residences, with a garden for contemplation, an oratory and several rooms for short-term spiritual retreats. Piano also built La Porterie, Notre-Dame-du-Haut’s new visitors’ centre. The stylish, graceful building has been built into the hill as well. Perfectly integrated into the landscape, it holds the ticket booth, a restaurant and a research centre focused on Le Corbusier’s opus. The surroundings have been re-designed by the firm of landscape architect Michel Corajoud. The Ronchamp Demain project as a whole has required an investment of nearly ten million Euros; funds were provided by local and regional government, Europe, the dioceses and donors. It was the price to be paid in order to revive the magic of Corbusier’s remarkable chapel, a site that attracts nearly 80,000 visitors each year.

About
This was the purpose of our all journey, really. I grew up as an architect studying this building... fifty years I had to wait to see with my own eyes! Changing shape as we walk around it... fabulous!

This Chapel painted in Red was dedicated by Le Corbusier to the Virgin Mary and to his wife. The curved forms and the painting in a bleeding red recalls in our subconcious the image of the womb.
Esta capilla la dedicó Le Corbusier a María y a su esposa. Sus formas redondeadas y femeninas, su pintura en un rojo sangrante crean en nuestro subsconciente la imagen de un gran utero.
Notre Dame du Haut
La chapelle de Notre-Dame.du-Haut à Ronchamp est l'oeuvre du grand architecte suisse Le Corbusier.
Bâtie toute en rondeurs, immense à l'extérieur et petite à l'intérieur; elle laisse à peine entrer la lumière par ses petites ouvertures.
Elle fut érigée entre 1950-1955 et c'est Le Corbusier lui-même qui réalisa les peintures et vitraux.
