History

Our Lady of Liberation was dedicated after the Second World War by bishop Maurice-Louis Dubourg, intending to build a monument if Besançon had not been devastated by the bombing. Subsequently, plaques lining the walls of the building, pay homage to diocesans and all inhabitants of Besançon who died during World War II, were added, as well as a monumental statue of the Virgin Mary with a height of seven meters.
