Church of Thônes

Saint Maurice Church

Located in the centre of Thônes, the St Maurice church was built in the 17th century. Between the French revolution and the bombings of 1944 there have been a series of restorations which have continued up until today.

The onion dome and the altar piece are remarkable testimony to the baroque period which dominated between 1650 and 1750.

The altar piece was constructed by the sculptor J. Jacquetti. This unique piece is an assembly of fine woodwork, sculptured and painted attached to the altar. It was classed as a historical monument in 1923.
