The most beautiful religious buildings Vevey

Situated high up (above the Russian church), this site may have been a Roman necropolis (tombs from this period have been discovered there). In 1497, a tower and four turrets were added to the first church. An architecture that greatly pleased Victor Hugo, who came several times to Vevey. So much so that he would have made a sketch of it to make a replica in the Pays de la Loire region. At the back of the church, a stained glass window represents Saint Martin dividing his coat in two.

It is the second largest Russian church in Switzerland, alongside the one in Geneva. In the ^19th century, many families of the Russian aristocracy came to spend the winter in Vevey. The Shouvalov family had two daughters, including Barbara, who died in childbirth in Vevey in 1872. Her family made a donation to the town to build a church in her memory. Typical of Slavic architecture, it was designed by Ippolito Antonovitch Monighetti between 1875 and 1878 and completed by the town's architect Samuel Késer. The church was listed as a historic monument in 1979.
