Our Lady of Liberation is a church built in an old fort located at nearly 500 meters of altitude, near the hamlet of Chapelle des Buis on the outskirts of the city of Besançon in the department of Doubs in Eastern France.
History
Our Lady of Liberation was dedicated after the Second World War by bishop Maurice-Louis Dubourg, the latter intending to build a monument if Besançon was not devastated by the bombing. Subsequently, the plaques lining the walls of the building who pay homage to diocesans and all inhabitants of Besançon died during World War II were added, and a monumental statue of the Virgin Mary with a height of seven meters.
