There is a little romanesque church in the vicinity. It was linked to a convent and built around the 11th century. I can see the bell tower from my back window :)
but it is quite far away and not even using the longest lens yields acceptable pictures (way too much atmospheric haze).

"Saint-Pierre-de-Clages was first Celtic, then Roman. In the 11th century, the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Saint-Martin d’Ainay in Lyon built the Romanesque church in the Cluniac style on the village main square.

This monument is one of the most interesting examples of how Carolingian art influenced architecture in Southern Switzerland. The church was built in a traditional Romanesque style using natural stones. It was mentioned for the first time in 1153 in a Pope Eugene II’s bull, but actually dates from more than 100 years earlier. The searches and recent renovation works (1963-1967) allowed cantonal archaeologist M. L’abbé François Olivier Dubuis to confirm that the building forms a homogeneous entity dating back to the first half of the 11th century, but for the two brick and tuff floors of the octagonal tower, which were erected later."

The village and the church of Saint-Pierre-de-Clages are built on an alluvial cone. With the passing of time and the occasional floodings the alluvions have accumulated around the church which seems to have sunk into the ground. Steps had to be added at the entrance door. At first they were dug at the exterior of the church, but in case of bad weather they were collecting all the waters and flooding the church. A transformation was then undertaken and a new stair was built, this time inside of the church, behind the entrance door. Nothing is symmetric in that church : The entrance door doesn't open in the middle in the axis of the altar and the two aisles are different both in height and width.

The pillars go by pairs, but there are different pairs (square, round or cruciform).

The pillars were originally painted, like the walls, but most of those paintings are now lost : there are still some traces left for instance on a pillar on the right :
