Former chapel of the Dominican convent of Annecy, in Haute-Savoie, the Saint-Maurice church was built between the 15th and 16th centuries. A high place of devotion, it was partly financed by the trades corporations and families whose weapons can be found on the keystones.
Plundered during the French Revolution, the Saint-Maurice church was subsequently used as a grain market and then as a stable before becoming a place of worship again at the beginning of the 19th century. Flamboyant Savoyard style, on the model of the churches of the Dominican order which favor the width of the main aisle to be able to accommodate large assemblies, it still presents in its interior a rich furniture which deserves attention, with in particular a carved pulpit from the beginning of the 18th century or a funerary painting from the 15th century on the tomb of Philippe de Monthoux, former adviser to the Dukes of Savoy and Burgundy.
The building is listed as a Historic Monument and also benefits from a partial classification.
