Yvoire
Church of Saint Pancras

The church is very old and has undergone many changes. The 13th-century vaulted chapel became a reformed temple in the 16th century during the Bernese occupation, and was later reconverted into a Catholic church. The bulbous bell tower replaced the old bell tower in 1857, which was destroyed to convert the bells into cannons for Napoleon's armies. The interior of the church was renovated in 2012 in order to provide a better welcome for residents and visitors.
