Our Lady of Liberation is a church built in an old fort at nearly 500 m of altitude near the hamlet of Chapelle des Buis, in the outskirts of the city of Besançon, in the department of Doubs, in eastern France.

History[edit]

Our Lady of Liberation was dedicated after the Second World War by Bishop Maurice-Louis Dubourg, who decided to build a monument if Besançon was not devastated by the bombing.^{[citation needed]} Subsequently, plaques lining the walls of the building were added to pay homage to diocesans and all inhabitants of Besançon who died during World War II, as well as a monumental statue of the Virgin Mary 7 m tall.
