Eglise Saint-Vincent de Nattages

The first mention of a chaplain in Nattages dates from 1365 but the parish is certainly older.

The façade of the church is pierced by a gothic portal sheltered by a canopy with two pillars, and surmounted by a small wall belfry with two arches. Rebuilt in 1650 by the parish priest Déleaz, the nave has a classical architecture: pinched ribbed vaults separated by double arches, square pillars with large canted sides, moulded capitals.

During a visit in 1766, the bishop of Belley asked that the roofs be completely rebuilt by replacing the thatch with tiles. In the 18th century, the church had several altars leaning against the walls of the nave or the choir, all under the patronage of a different saint: Saint-Sébastien for the chapel whose patrons were the Carthusian monks of Pierre-Châtel or Saint-Georges for the altar under the patronage of the Count of Rochefort.

Next to the choir, the chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph and dating from the 17th century now serves as the sacristy.

At the end of the 18th century, the façade and the small bell tower were restored to their former state due to the lack of participation by the inhabitants of Parves in the construction of a real bell tower. The rectangular apse is lit by a high, narrow window, partly walled in; it is reminiscent of the 14th century, but the vault has probably been rebuilt.
The church seems to have undergone only minimal repairs in the 19th century.

More recently, the Parves-et-Nattages Patrimoine association has called on the services of master glass artist Joël Mône to create contemporary stained glass windows.
