ST. VINCENT'S TEMPLE

Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

The church is believed to have been built in the 15th century on the ruins of a monasteriolum, a small church possibly dating back to the 11th century. It features a square tower topped by an eight-sided curved spire measuring 7.5 m on each side. After the arrival of the Bernese in 1536, the church became a Protestant temple, which it still is today. Old Montreusiens call Saint-Vincent le temple des Planches. The modern stained-glass windows are the work of Vaud artist Jean Prahin. From the terrace, there's a fine view of the greater Montreus area.
