Yvoire and its treasures
It was the Count of Savoy, Amédée V, who had a fortress built at the beginning of the 14th century, of which some remarkable ruins remain today, including the ramparts and the castle, the profile of which has not been seen on the lakeshore for over 700 years, much to the delight of photographers. It is now a private residence that cannot be visited.image
Listed as a Historic Monument, Saint-Pancrace church was built in the 13th century and has undergone a number of modifications, including a bulbous bell tower that was installed in 1856, restored in 1983 and then covered in steel in 1989. In 2012, the interior of the church was completely refurbished.
