SAINT MAURICE CHURCH

The first mention of Saanen's church dates back to 1228. A beautiful church that retains all its character, its most striking feature is the bell tower in the shape of a Romanesque tower (Bernese bell tower style) dating from 1444. Inside, a series of ^15th-century frescoes, painted al fresco, depict the martyrdom of the saint who gave the church its name, and on the north side of the nave, the Last Judgment. In the balustrades, you can admire the ^{mid-18th-century} organ, with its imposing Baroque-style case and lovely paintings that have remained intact despite the passage of time.
