• The church of Saint-Georges de la Tour Saint-Jeoire and square: when in 1739 was the decision to demolish the tower of the old parish church, which threatened to collapse on the ship, the construction of the new tower (1740 -41) was undertaken outside the church, in a "niche" just enough between the sacristy and chapel Notre-Dame. This church, dating from the year one thousand, had undergone numerous expansions, not always coherent, but it was too small. It was therefore decided in 1848 to demolish and construct a new exposed the cons of "On Nâves" to reach a new public square in the center of town. As we wanted to retain the existing tower (still in excellent condition), we should build the new church separate from the tower, which was not compatible either with the neo-classical, nor with the current neo-Gothic. An original solution was proposed. It was studied by architects and Ruphy Gignoux, responsible for this project. A variant of the Gothic, neo-Gothic Lombard, developed mainly in Piedmont and Milan, requires precisely the independent tower of the church. This achievement (1855-1858) made the church Saint-Jeoire the only department to have preserved and developed all the features on the outside and inside, this neo-Gothic Lombard. The recent restoration (1988-1989) has carefully followed and completed these characteristics.
