Tips from the Community
This monument was designed and erected by volunteers from the "Friends of the Mining Museum" association. It was financed by the municipality of Ronchamp and the association, with the support of the municipalities of Champagney and Magny d'Anigon. Located on the so-called "seigneuriale" marker, it depicts a small coal basin with a diameter of 8 meters, similar to those found in the three municipalities. The shafts are represented by small concrete winding towers distributed geographically: the 14 shafts of Champagney to the east, the 10 shafts of Ronchamp to the west, and to the south, the two wells dug on Magny d'Anigon. The three towns are represented by their coats of arms carved from pink Vosges sandstone. The brown concrete logs symbolize the pit timber, which was made of fir. The keyhole shape of this border represents the industrialists and investors who found in coal mining the key to the region's economic development. The inner surface was lined with pieces of coal collected from the various spoil heaps in the basin to clearly demonstrate that coal had been mined there. The outer ring was filled with white limestone rubble to clearly emphasize the contrast between the work during the day and that at the bottom of the mine (day and night, white and black).

Pilgrimage Chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Haut, 1950 The Chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Haut in Ronchamp is the icon of Christian sacred architecture that revolutionized church building in the 20th century. The chapel is in a dominant position on a hill at the Burgundian Gate near Belfort. Apart from its rather bare summit, this hill is wooded, as are the neighboring hills. Le Corbusier took into account the trees, the views into the distance and the horizon line in his design. The basic features of the design for the chapel were created in just a few days: an asymmetrical building, curved walls, vaulted by a roof whose shape is reminiscent of the shell of a crab. The asymmetry broke with the traditional idea of a cruciform church floor plan. A unified church space was created, without a side or transept, which is nevertheless oriented towards the east.

In addition to the chapel, Le Corbusier built two smaller buildings, the guard's house and the pilgrim's house, which contains bedrooms and a kitchen. A step pyramid, also built from ruined stones and dedicated to the victims of the fighting in 1944, completes the architectural ensemble.
