Saint-Pancrace d'Yvoire is a Catholic church dedicated to Saint Pancras, who was martyred in Rome in the 3rd century.
Listed as a Historic Monument, it's a must-see on any visit to the village.
Yvoire's church, dedicated to Saint Pancrace, probably dates back to the 11th century.
It has undergone several transformations.
The present steeple, built between 1856 and 1858, belongs to the line of bulbous steeples that characterized Savoyard religious architecture in the late 19th century.
Initially covered in tin-plated iron, the municipality planned to restore it in 1983 to combat rust.
Work began in 1989, when the bell tower was clad in F17 stainless steel. The cockerel and ball at the top are covered in gold leaf. The last gold beater in France is located in Excenevex (3 km from Yvoire).
