Descriptif Court

The Church of St. Sigismund reflects the ups and downs of history. Its magnificent baroque decor coated with gold and cherubs tabernacle will dazzle you!

Descriptif détaillé

Inside, you can admire a gilded altarpiece featuring cherubs. It was made by Jacques Clérant and Jean-Baptiste Gualaz in 1710.
In the nave to the right, there is also an altarpiece of the Rosary dating from 1662 and attributed to François Cuénot from Chambéry.
Framed between two mixed columns with caryatids, in the centre of the altarpiece, a high relief depicts the Virgin in Assumption contemplated by Saint Sigismund and a Virgin martyr: the sculpture is a virtuosity of movement and detail. On the entablature, angels assume acrobatic positions.
