Our Lady of Liberation, Catholic church atop Mont des Buis, Besançon, France.
The church stands within the trenches of an old fort, positioned on Mont des Buis with a commanding position over the city of Besançon.
Following World War II, Archbishop Maurice-Louis Dubourg established this memorial site in 1949, incorporating a crypt containing a statue of the Virgin Mary.
The church walls display commemorative plaques listing 5,500 names of civilian and military members of the diocese who died during World War II.
Located at 92 Chemin de la Chapelle des Buis, the church maintains regular hours for daily prayers and ceremonies throughout the year.
The structure occupies the exact location of a fifth-century hermitage that later transformed into the Chapel of Notre-Dame des Buis.
