Saint-Sébastien de Nendaz Chapel

The church of Saint-Léger, commonly known as the church of Basse-Nendaz, dates back to the end of the 9th or the beginning of the 10th century. However, the present structure of the church owes much to a renovation in the 1960s. The original chapel, which is the oldest part of the building, now serves as a crypt.

The Saint-Michel Chapel was built in 1499, as evidenced by an engraved wooden panel. Several times rebuilt and renovated, it almost disappeared in the 1960s. Thanks to the intervention of the Service des Monuments Historiques du canton du Valais, it was finally saved. The building in its present state, in Baroque style, dates from the 18th century. The interior decoration is the work of the painter Charles Frédéric Brun, better known in the region as Le Déserteur. The latter arrived in Nendaz around 1840.

The church of Haute-Nendaz was built from 1943 to 1953 by inhabitants who used to have to walk down to Lower Nendaz to go to mass at the church of Saint Léger.
