Guided Tour of the Notre Dame des Alpes Church
1 / 2
Description
Accompanied by a Savoie Mont-Blanc heritage guide, set out to explore Notre-Dame-des-Alpes, a modern church built between
1935 and 1938 by architect Maurice Novarina. Registration required
A leading figure in the revival of sacred art in the 20th century, Novarina envisioned a modern church that incorporates elements of traditional Savoyard chalet architecture.
The decoration is the result of a collaboration between three Swiss artists and one French artist. François Baud created the sculpture of the Virgin Mary on the façade. Alexandre Cingria and Jean Hébert-Stevens shared the design of the stained-glass windows.
