Saint Michael's chapel: Still dedicated to worship, it is located in the hamlet of Gotraz and is surrounded by its cemetery, which was enlarged twice in 1837 and in the second half of the 19th century.
Exterior appearance: a Romanesque bay suggests an ancient origin
Its bell tower wall and gable with slate roofs, its wooden canopy with flaked tiles, most likely from the tile factories that were present in the commune in the past, are worth discovering
Interior aspect: a classified sculpted wooden altarpiece comes either from the chapel of the Visitandines of Belley or from the Chartreuse of Pierre Châtel
The crucifix, statues, one of which represents Saint Michael slaying the dragon, the patron saint of the "parish", and the baptismal font make up the furnishings of this charming chapel
