Sainte-Marie-Madeleine reformed church and priory

The church structure features architectural elements from two construction periods during the 11th and 12th centuries at its current location near Lake Geneva.

Founded between 1090 and 1097, the religious building was first dedicated to Saint Sulpice before changing its dedication to Saint Mary Magdalene.

The Protestant church represents a significant transformation in religious practice following the Bernese conquest of 1536, when it converted from Catholic to Reformed worship.

Located at Chemin du Crêt 6-10 in Saint-Sulpice, the church maintains its status as a Class A Swiss cultural property of national importance.

The church functions without a nave section, as this central part collapsed during the 15th century and remained unrestored through subsequent centuries.
