chapelle notre-dame du haut

朗香教堂对每个读过建筑史或者没读过建筑史的人来说都是值得一去的地方。异常纯净的选址。从belfort坐着只有一节车厢的小火车到达。还要走大约半个小时才能到。但是无论从建筑，景观，宗教等很多方面这个建筑都非常值得一看。最早期的仿生学建筑。柯布西耶把混凝土技术把握的炉火纯青。光影的体验更是朗香教堂最精彩的部分。

The location is inspiring. The chapel is a gem, but needs to be restored to its former glory.When visiting, stay at La Maison d'Hotes du Parc. You will not regret it.

Personally, I consider this chapel the highest achievement of modernist architect Le Corbusier. The location, the design and the interior make the visit an unforgettable experience. If you are in the area, do not miss it!Recently, a convent by Renzo Piano has been added, with an information point and bookshop.

While travelling in France , stumbled on this fine example of Le Carbusier architecture .Not to everybodys taste but a fine statement to what can be done with concrete.Wellworth a visit if any where in the vacinity

There is now an excellent visitor centre (designed by Renzo Piano) but the chapel remains a beautiful, spiritual place.

Breathtaking beauty. Perfect building. Corbusier's masterpiece. Try staying in town and walking up the hill in the early morning. Plan to spend a few hours to see the building as the light shifts.

I have waited many years to visit this beautiful building. We drove past it so many times but either didn't have time to stop or had young children with us. We finally made it and I was not disappointed. The atmosphere inside the chapel is so heavenly, with it's soft, dappled light shining through the different sized, coloured and shaped windows and the soft music being played in one of the tiny side chapels.A truly heavenly place.If you are going through Ronchamp please take the time to stop.

We visited because we were in the area rather than because of a particular interest, but found the history and architecture fascinating. We walked up the road from Ronchamp and back down through the woods and would recommend this if you are moderately fit. Facilities at the visitor centre include toilets and a self-service coffee machine. Overall a pleasing visit.

Living in France, I've visited several Le Corbusier sites over the years & this is a wonderful building to visit. I'm in no way religious, so I can view this purely from an architectural view point, but there's so much about this building that delights. The Renzo Piano addition seems very sympathetic to the site. St Marie de La Tourette is also spectacular.

I should start by saying that I'm not a huge Le Corbusier fan but I understand why someone who was would want to visit. The building is interesting as are the surrounding grounds. It's still a functioning chapelle which also added to the visit. Be sure to go into the smaller side areas towards the back to see how the light from the towers filters in.

The chapel is above the small town of Ronchamp, near the Swiss border (not far from Basel), completed in 1954 on the site of an old church destroyed in WWII. The caretakers, for motives unknown to me, asked the architect Le Corbusier to design a new church - and he delivered one of the masterpieces of architectural history. Many of Le Corbusier's buildings have aged badly - not this one. The shape is unorthodox, and the inside is dark - but this is counterpointed by the strong echo which hushes most visitors (you even breath carefully, so much is every bit of noise amplified), and the light seeping in from above the altar is one of the most moving "architectural tricks" I have ever seen. I am not a religious person but a visit to this church is a must. The new visitors' centre, surrounding landscape and a Clarissan monastery was added more recently, designed by Renzo Piano. These additions do not try to overpower the original attraction, the church, and are themselves tasteful additions to the complex. Do make the detour to visit the place. A warning: the walk up from the main square of Ronchamp is NOt 15 min - it is more like 30min, in places the slope is rather steep, whether you follow the road or you turn left after walking under the train bridge. You can drive up, too - but the walk is still nice.

This famous church built by Le Corbusier is, at the same time, so different yet so deeply into the essence of "church". The small and slow road that crosses through the french countryside is worth all the trip to see it, also.

Well worth the trip. Photos will never do this place justice. There are no words to describe the way you will feel as you come through the entrance and see the light come in through the windows and move around the oddly formed walls of the church. I write this review 10 years later when I visited the place as a young adult and that single image is still in my mind. You can easily spend a few hour walking around the grounds observing the masterpiece, different from every angle. The walk up the hill was also very enjoyable.

I've been yearning to visit this place ever since I learnt about it in architectural school almost 10 years ago. I have never thought that one day, I would actually see this place in person. It took some convincing skills to get my boyfriend to travel 3 hours from and 3 hours back to Paris just to see and experience this ONE building.It was a foggy winter morning and we took the 6am train.As the taxi drove up the hill, I caught the first glimpse of the majestic building. My heart skipped a beat.As we walked up the hill towards the building, the fog slowly cleared and unveiled the architecture masterpiece that has amazed me and occupied my mind for the longest time.The Chapelle Notre-Dame du Haut provides a constant inspiration and motivation to me and I hope it will to you too :)P/S The small restaurant at the foot of the hill is fantastic! Definitely one of the best meals I've had in France.

Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut is a Masterpiece by the great French architect Le Corbusier. It's far from Paris or any other French city and not easy accessible by transportation but worth visiting. Best way to go is from colmar or Strasbourg.
