Points of interest

Notre Dame de la Salette Chapel

In Feigères, between 1400 and 1789, thirteen seigneuries ruled at Châtelard.Of this medieval castle, only a wall face remains well preserved today. On the site of this castle the Châtelard cross and the Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette Chapel were constructed (1874 for the first one and 1925 for the current one). A pilgrimage takes place every year on the first Sunday after Assumption.

Boundary stone

A Roman boundary stone was erected in front of the church. It was used as a centrepiece of the monument to the dead and serves as a platform for a Gallic rooster in the capon style.

Neydens church

The church is in the Neo-Gothic style. It was built by Fontaine, the architect from Annecy, in 1890 and opened in 1892. The interior was renovated in 1967 and the exterior in 1980.
