Chapel near Château de Thorens
The Château de Sales, in which Saint-François de Sales was born, was destroyed during the French occupation of 1630. In 1672, his nephews erected the present chapel on the site of the room where the Saint was born.
Inside the chapel, the Baroque altarpiece dating from 1677 is perfectly preserved. It was in the chapel of the former château that Saint-François de Sales was inspired by God to create the Order of the Visitation with Sainte-Jeanne de Chantal. The cross beside today's chapel was erected on this site in the 19th century.
