Eglise de Droisy
L’église a été construite à l’emplacement d’une ancienne chapelle. La paroisse était toutefois une annexe de celle de Cologny (hameau de Seyssel), puis, elle fut rattachée à celle de Clermont.Son clocher a un couronnement en flèche trapue assez original. Le chœur est voûté en berceau brisé. Elle est dédiée à Saint Sébastien. On trouve à l’intérieur deux statues : celle de Saint Sébastien et celle d’une Vierge à l’enfant en bois sculpté au XVIIIème siècle par un artiste local, classé par les Monuments Historiques. En rentrant à gauche on trouve un bénitier en pierre à demi engagé dans le mur.
