Église Saint-Maurice, Gothic church in Annecy, France

The Saint-Maurice Church features a main vessel width characteristic of Dominican architecture, with four bays in the nave and two in the choir section.

Originally established as a Dominican convent in 1422, the church underwent multiple expansions until reaching its current form, with its tower destroyed during the French Revolution.

The funeral painting from the 15th century depicts the tomb of Philibert de Monthoux, who served as an advisor to the Dukes of Savoy.

The church contains four large bells in its tower, with three currently in regular use for services and ceremonies at 2 Rue Saint-Maurice.

The 2016 restoration revealed the original light-colored facades and recovered the wall paintings, while introducing new liturgical furniture and chandeliers.
