Église Sainte-Marguerite d'Orelle, Catholic parish church in Orelle, France
The church measures 30 meters in length, 10 meters in width, with a 20-meter bell tower featuring ten stained glass windows on its north and south faces.
The church was established in 1661 to provide easier access for Bonvillard residents who struggled to reach Saint-Maurice church, particularly during winter months.
The church is dedicated to Margaret of Antioch, a fourth-century virgin martyr, and maintains regular religious services within the parish of Saint-Michel-en-Maurienne.
Father Pierre Lallement, a member of Orelle Heritage Association, holds the key to the building and conducts guided visits throughout the year.
The exterior underwent complete renovation in 2018, including new plastering, roof restoration, and bell tower refurbishment, leading to increased religious ceremonies.
