Church of St. Maurice

Beautiful church

Amazing place

This church is beautifully highlighted at night by specific lighting. Inside is an astonishing high funerary relief. The last vestige of a convent gone, this medieval building deserves to linger there to visit it.

This church is the former chapel of a Dominican convent, inaugurated on March 22, 1422. Its construction is wanted by Cardinal Brogny. The church is "on the edge of the walls of the city, along a small canal that unites the Thiou Vassé".

The St. Maurice Church is just a few steps from the side of the Eglise Saint François de Sales, the oldest church in Annecy. In 1422 the monastery was initiated by Cardinal John Brogny by a simple chapel building that gradually expanded into the form we know today.
