SenLi PhotographerThe famous Langxiang Church in the French Burgundy region, the French name is Colline Notre-Dame du Haut, was designed and built in 1953 by Le Coscibouille, was listed on the list of historical monuments in France in 1967, and was listed as a World Heritage Site in 2016. Inspired by the natural landscape, Cossibye decided to design the church into a "lyric poem" that connected nature, architecture and religion closely, with the white exterior wall extending to nature, and the Virgin Mary was held high in the church by various elements of nature and symbols of the universe. -⛪️ Langxiang Church is located between a woodland and isolated from the rest of the town; the church is on a hill and the site itself has a metaphorical basis, which highlights the importance of Langxiang Church. ⛪️ Unlike most of Corbusier's other works, which are box-like, functional and small, Langxiang Church has irregular sculptural shapes, i.e., tilted walls, roofs and floors. It is very complicated in style and form; However, from the perspective of design function planning, it is relatively simple: two entrances, a pulpit and three prayer rooms. The visit to the church includes the church building itself, as well as the surrounding priest's house, the pilgrim's residence, the Peace Pyramid, and the ancient bell. The church itself is different from traditional church buildings, with white exterior walls and reasonable space utilization, which perfectly creates the light and shadow inside the church. ✨ Pilgrim's residence and priest's house are also designed by Cossibye, extending his consistent golden-divided architectural system and planting plants on the roof to integrate the building and the natural environment. The most striking part of Langxiang Church is the curved roof that rolls up in the sky. The curved roof, supported by pillars embedded in the wall, looks like it is hanging over the building, so there is a 10 cm gap between the roof and the wall, which allows for wisps of skylight light to enter. This streamlined design runs through the church's huge and heavy qualities and makes it look very lightweight. The Peace Pyramid outside the church was built to commemorate the 1944 Longxiang War, designed and built by the designer's assistant. -📍 Detailed address: 13 Rue de la Chapelle, 70250 Ronchamp🚗 Traffic strategy: It is recommended to drive by car, you can also take the train to Belfort first, take the 3 bus to 🕙 Open time: 5-10 Mid-month 9:00-19:00; Late October-April 10:00-17:00💰 Ticket price: 8 euros for adults, 6 euros for students - Xiamen ｜ France ｜ Europe ｜ Travel ｜ Photography ｜ Aerial ｜ Late ｜ Self-driving tour ｜ Hotel ｜ European ｜ European Photography Group ｜ Beidou Star Cloud
