    The Saint-Nicolas church is one of the jewels of Alpine Baroque art, built during the first half of the 18th century, thanks to financial contributions from peddlers and expatriates who left for the lower Alemannic countries.
    Characteristic of the Alpine Baroque with its sober exterior and its dazzling interior of colors, gilding and cherubs, the church of Saint-Nicolas is an enchantment for the eyes. Known for its “Saint-Nicolas blue” punctuating the vaults entirely painted in the 19th century, its five polychrome carved wooden altarpieces and its unsuspected trompe-l'oeil, the interior of the building gives the word magnificence its full meaning!
