After the war, it was decided to rebuild on the same site, The new chapel was built for a reformist Church looking to continue its relevance. There had been a pilgrimage chapel on the site dedicated to the Virgin Mary, but it was destroyed during the Second World War. The site is high on a hill near Belfort in eastern France. 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.
On January 17, 2014, the chapel became the target of a break-in. He realized when he visited the site that he could not use mechanized means of construction, because access was too difficult. At the time the new building was being constructed, Le Corbusier was not interested in Machine Age architecture he felt that his style was more primitive and sculptural. The previous building was a 4th-century Christian chapel. The previous chapel was completely destroyed during World War II. The chapel is the latest of chapels at the site. Although the building is small, it is powerful and complex.
Commissioned by the Association de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame du Haut, the chapel is a simple design with two entrances, a main altar, and three chapels beneath towers. Notre-Dame du Haut is commonly thought of as a more extreme design of Le Corbusier's late style. In 2016, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in along with sixteen other works by Le Corbusier, because of its importance to the development of modernist architecture. The chapel is a working religious building and is under the guardianship of the private foundation Association de l’Œuvre de Notre-Dame du Haut. Built in 1955, it is one of the finest examples of the architecture of Franco-Swiss architect Le Corbusier.
