It retains all the traces in architecture. However, when Geneva became Calvinist, Annecy became the capital of Catholicism in the area. If we add that it became part of the territories of the House of Savoy, then you understand why in an area with mostly medieval architecture and reminiscent of Germany, we find this temple with its Lombard Baroque style. It is the best the church is the Italian region of Annecy.
