    Nice church with a small viewing platform for viewing the other side of the canyon. Also well lit at night.

      I really like this church in the beautiful town of Saint-Gervais. The surrounding gardens are beautiful!

        The church of Saint-Gervais, a Baroque masterpiece, was completely restored in 2016 as part of the European ALCOTRA program. Nine contemporary stained glass windows, created by the artist Kim En Joong, are now installed there.

        We find the first mentions of the existence of the parish of Saint-Gervais in the 13th century. At the end of the 17th century, faced with the increase in population and the aging of the medieval building, it was planned to rebuild the church. Thanks to a major donation from Nicolas Revenaz, a native of Saint-Gervais who settled as a merchant in Vienna, Austria, it was rebuilt between 1696 and 1702.
        The bell tower is typical of the bulbous bell towers found in large numbers in the Pays du Mont-Blanc from the 18th century. Almost 40 meters high, divided into five floors, it carries with it an important part of the history of the place. The first four floors are from the 14th century, while the upper part dates from the 18th and 19th centuries.
        Apart from the 19th century geometric stained glass windows on the facade, the church is adorned with stained glass windows made in 2016 by Korean-born artist Kim En Joong.
