Origin and history

The church of Saint-Pierre in Habère-Lullin, located in the Haute-Savoie department, is attested from 1180 in a bubble of Pope Alexander III. This medieval religious building bears witness to an ancient Christian presence in the valley. His history was marked by major transformations, notably after a fire that destroyed the nave in 1781.

In 1840, the church was enlarged in a neoclassical Sardinian style, contrasting with its three-nave Romanesque interior. The bedside, slightly disoriented, houses a 14th century fresco depicting the Annunciation, classified as a historical monument in 1906. This combination of architectural periods reflects the artistic and religious evolutions of the region.

The furniture also includes an 18th century bell, classified the same year as the fresco, as well as religious paintings like a Descent of the Cross. These elements underline the central role of the church in the spiritual and cultural life of Habère-Lullin, from the Middle Ages to the contemporary era.
