Église Saint-Michel de Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

The Saint-Michel Church stands in the center of Chamonix with a bulbous bell tower and a Second Empire style facade from 1864.

The initial church construction in 1119 by Benedictine monks left only the bell tower, while the current structure was built between 1707 and 1709.

The church interior contains an Empire style altarpiece from 1737 and multiple historical monuments, including classified furniture pieces and religious artifacts.

The church remains open daily from 6 AM to 7 PM throughout the year, with wheelchair access provided through an inclined plane.

The church organ, installed in 1992, features a split design to maintain visibility of the large stained-glass window behind it.
