Church of Saint Pierre Saint Paul
The old lady was first mentioned in a deed of gift in 1012. However, the building was altered twice, in the 15th and 17th centuries.
While the exterior walls are decorated with a sober gypsum plaster, the interior of the church is more richly decorated.
In the choir, a superb altarpiece with twisted columns awaits you, where an 18th century painting represents Saint Peter surrounded by two important ecclesiastical figures of the Savoyard Church: Saint François de Sales and Blessed Amédée IX, Duke of Savoy.
A case closed! If the three altarpieces are protected as Historic Monuments, in the nave, no less than three other pieces of furniture are also protected: the baptismal font, the holy water font and the 17th century preaching pulpit. The latter is very original with its base decorated with an atlantean, a character dressed in the peasant costume of the time.
Here you can discover a lively, colourful décor, which, although late, is still characteristic of Baroque art.
