Notre Dame du Haut is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage chapel built in 1955 in Ronchamp, France by “Le Corbusier.” The pseudonym belonged to the Swiss-French architect Charles-Edouard Jenneret (1887-1965).
The chapel is a totally concrete structure with walls which, in places, are ten feet thick. The building is on the site of a 4th century church destroyed during World War II.
The slanting concrete roof guides rainwater so that it appears to come off the roof like a fountain onto concrete slabs below.
