Guided tour of the church of Saint-Laurent-la-Roche
It is an ideal hiking destination on the Géruge-Chatel stage circuit of the Via Cluny circuits.
It also holds many riches: statuary of the 16th century, painting dated 1613, stained glass windows of Saint-Laurent ... We can note, in particular, the wall painting «the Adoration of the Magi» at the beginning of the 16th century, discovered in the 1960s.
It probably represents Philibert de Chalon, head of the armies of Charles V and Viceroy of Naples under the guise of a mage.
The history of this church is part of that of the castle of Saint-Laurent-la-Roche, fortress defended by the Franc-Comtois hero Lacuzon and dismantled in 1668 by Louis XIV.
