The church of the Annunciation is a religious monument located in the city of Annecy, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Although its name and location are clearly identified, the available sources do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details that could further characterize it. Its name suggests a connection to the biblical episode of the Annunciation, often associated with buildings dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

In the general historical context, churches played a central role in the lives of urban communities like Annecy. They served not only as places of worship but also as social and cultural landmarks, bringing together the inhabitants around religious festivals, markets or collective decisions. In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a region marked by a strong Christian presence since the Middle Ages, these buildings often reflected the importance of Catholicism in the local organization, without it being possible to attribute specificities to this church without any additional data.
