About Sainte Marie de La Tourette

Religion, Monasteries, Interesting Places

Sainte Marie de La Tourette is a Dominican Order priory, located on a hillside near Lyon, France designed by the architect Le Corbusier, the architect’s final and most important building. The design of the building begun in May 1953 and completed in 1961. The committee that decided the creation of the building, considered that the primary duty of the monastery should be the spiritual awakening of the people and in particular the inhabitants of nearby areas. That's why the monastery was placed in Eveux-sur-Arbresle, which is just 25 km from Lyon and is accessible by train or car.

In July 2016, the building and several other works by Le Corbusier were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
