Church of Our Lady of the Visitation

The chapel and hermitage of Notre-Dame du Scex were probably founded at the end of the 7th century. During the 17th century, the chapel was transformed. Faced with the influx of pilgrims, the religious building was not only repaired but also enlarged. The present chapel, however, dates from the 18th century, when the sacristy was rebuilt, the choir and the chapel were tiled, the entrance was paved, the fountain was repaired as well as the access road to the sanctuary, three small bells were installed. The chapel is under the jurisdiction of the abbot of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune.

The Abbey of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune was founded in 515 by the future King of Burgundy Saint Sigismund on the site of an ancient sanctuary housing the relics of Maurice d'Agaune. The abbey is one of the most important monasteries created north of the Alps during the High Middle Ages. In 1560, the abbey was destroyed by a great fire followed, fifty years later, by a huge landslide following an earthquake. The abbey church was rebuilt with a new orientation in the 17th century and restored by the architect Claude Jaccottet after a collapse in 1942.

The church of Saint Pierre de Clages is mentioned for the first time in 1153, but it is thought that a church existed in the first half of the 11th century. The church was last restored in the 1960s. It is a very well preserved Romanesque monument.
