8Notre Dame d'Etrembières chapel
It dates from the 15th century and was completed in 1481. The building is quite large for the population of the time, around 50 inhabitants. It is Romanesque in style, yet its vaulting is in the slender Gothic style.<br/>It is pierced by Romanesque windows, one at the back of the sanctuary, others on each side and another over the entrance door. Its thick walls are supported on the south side by three massive buttresses. The entrance door is Romanesque, with a semicircular arch and two framing columns with elaborate capitals.
9Château d'Etrembières
Built in the 12th century at the foot of the Salève, the château was originally owned by the Knights of Étrembières from Geneva. This ancient stronghold in the heart of the Haute-Savoie region underwent numerous transformations, notably in the 15th and 16th centuries.<br/>The building takes the form of an enclosure flanked by round towers at the corners. The restored dwellings are set around an inner courtyard. Part of the Château d'Étrembières was demolished in the 16th century.
