Église Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce de Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, Baroque church in Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France.

The church features five polychrome wooden altarpieces, detailed vault paintings in Saint-Nicolas blue, and an ornate facade with a broken pediment opening towards the sky.

Built between 1726 and 1729, the church was funded by textile merchants and wealthy emigrants who lived in Vienna, reflecting the commercial connections of the Haute-Savoie region.

The main altarpiece displays the Glory of Saint Nicholas painting by Antoine Herzog, surrounded by intricate wood carvings representing religious figures and biblical scenes.

The church welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM throughout the year, with multilingual information panels and wheelchair accessibility upon request.

The church vault paintings, created by the Avondo brothers in 1856, incorporate a specific shade known as Saint-Nicolas blue, which distinguishes this religious monument.
