Vierge du Mas Rillier, Colossal religious statue in Mas Rillier, France.
The statue reaches a height of 32.6 meters and features reinforced concrete construction with stairs leading to an observation point within Mary's crown.
Architect Louis Mortamet and artist Georges Serraz completed the monument in 1941, during World War II, replacing the former Château de Miribel.
The statue represents the Madonna and Child theme, receiving official recognition as a historical monument in March 2020 under the Mérimée identification PA01000049.
Located at Esplanade de la Madone, this free-access monument requires approximately 30 minutes to explore the structure and surrounding grounds.
The statue contains internal staircases that allow visitors to climb through the structure to reach a viewing terrace within the Virgin Mary's crown.
