Origin and history

The church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de La Motte-Servolex, located in the Savoy department (73), is a religious building built during the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. It is distinguished by its architecture and interior decoration, which led to its partial classification as Monument Historique. The church itself is included in the additional inventory, while its interior decoration is classified by ministerial decree.

The location of the church is specified at 230 Montée Saint-Jean, in the commune of La Motte-Servolex, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The building is the property of the municipality and was designed under the direction of Bernardo Trivelly, the architect identified in the archives. Its status as a Historic Monument, formalized on December 6, 1984, protects both its structure and its interior artistic heritage.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its heritage importance. The church embodies a representative example of the 19th century Savoyard religious architecture, marked by local stylistic influences and integration into the urban landscape of La Motte-Servolex. Its interior decoration, specifically protected, bears witness to the craftsmanship and artistic techniques of the time.
