Guided tour of the chapel: the revival of postwar sacred art

Chapelle Notre-Dame du Haut

May 8 and November 11

In the aftermath of World War II, France faced the need to rebuild. To rebuild the Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut, destroyed in October 1944 by bombing, the Commission for Sacred Art selected Le Corbusier. This was a groundbreaking choice, made within a broader context of renewal in sacred art. This guided tour will explore the chapel’s origins and the context of its creation.
