Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Pérouges, Medieval fortified church in Pérouges, France

The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene stands at the entrance of the medieval city of Pérouges, with walls measuring 1.40 meters thick incorporating arrow slits.

Built in the 15th century, the church contained 17 altars dedicated to various guilds and received historical monument status in 1912.

The vaults of the building display keystones decorated with the Savoy cross, recalling Pérouges' attachment to the duchy until 1601.

The church opens its doors automatically each day from 9 AM to 5 PM and offers free access to visitors.

The walkway crosses the building above a side nave, demonstrating its original defensive function.
