Église Saint-Maurice d'Orelle, Catholic church in Orelle, France
The Saint-Maurice church features a tall bell tower built in 1580 and stands at the heart of the mountain village of Orelle.
The original church was destroyed by an avalanche in 1412, leading to the construction of the current building in 1430 by local residents.
The church contains a baroque main altar from 1656 and displays a facade decoration depicting the beheading of Saint Maurice.
Religious services, weddings, and baptisms take place regularly in the church, with guided tours available throughout summer months.
The church houses the only tabernacle in Maurienne that opens with a rotating door, making it a notable example of religious craftsmanship.
