Today a Protestant temple, Saint-François was originally a convent. Built around 1270 by Franciscan monks from Besançon, they are the ones who contributed to the extension of the vineyards of Lavaux. The upper parts date back to 1370-1387 and the bell tower, 56 m high, around 1400. Inside, the pews are reversible (ingenious system of rocking backrests), to listen to both mass and the magnificent organ concerts in April and November. Note that the vaults of the choir have a painted decoration of false joints, white on a beige background.
