Saint Peter's Church

Saint Peter's Church

The church, dedicated to Saint Peter, stands in a secluded position between the town and the village of Veret. It was built between 1839 and 1841 in the neo-classical Sardinian style. While the neighboring parishes of Nernier, Yvoire and Excenevex depended on the abbey of Filly, Messery was under the authority of the chapter of St Pierre-de-Genève, and appears to have little income. As early as the 15th century, there was a confraternity of the Holy Spirit. The population then stood at 30, rising to 40 in 1518 and over 50 by the end of the 16th century. As a result, emigration began at the end of the previous century. During the Bernese occupation, Nernier, until then a godchild of Yvoire, became part of Messery in 1540 and remained so until 1793. When the occupiers left, Messery was one of three parishes authorized to retain a Reformed minister. In 1589, in the midst of a religious war, the Baron d'Hermance, governor of Allinges, authorized it to continue celebrating the Lord's Supper, preaching and baptizing, but the chroniclers point out that "there is no exercise in the whole baillage other than here". As a result, the village was spared from the Geneva troops that were ravaging the Chablais region at the time. Similarly, after the mission of St. François de Sales, the parishes of Messery and Nernier, made up mainly of boatmen and fishermen, were reluctant to recant and, along with Yvoire, were among the last to convert. The behavior of the local nobility could only encourage them in this attitude.

Chapelle Notre Dame du Lac

The Chapelle Notre Dame du Lac is a privately-owned property that forms part of the historic estate of the village of Nernier. The purpose of the Notre Dame du Lac association is to safeguard, restore and maintain the chapel. Abbé Favre erects a sanctuary dedicated to the Mother of God under the name of Notre Dame du Lac. He was looking for a suitable plot of land on which to build this religious edifice, and proposed that the commune sell him a plot of land at La Luche du Crot, between Chemin du Cré and Chemin de Frize. In 1856, the municipal council agreed to the construction of the chapel. But it was not until August 1, 1862, that the municipal council agreed to sell the land for the modest sum of 50 francs. The council's deliberations include an essential clause in the contract: "Should the chapel be demolished or cease to be used as a religious service, the land will revert to the Commune by right and without indemnity". As the parcel of land sold was not sufficient, Abbé Favre asked the Comte d'Antioche, who owned the adjacent meadow, to add to the extent of the land by making a donation. In order to build the chapel, Abbé Favre opened a bazaar in Nernier and went begging in Lyon and even as far as Paris. Every year, he made a profit of between 1,500 and 2,000 francs, with the noble family of Saugy helping to finance the project. He launched the construction of the Notre-Dame-du-Lac chapel for the conversion of the Vaud region, the preservation of the Catholic religion in the Chablais region and for boatmen in mortal danger. The chapel was opened for worship on November 21, 1861 by archpriest Duret de Massongy. To see a photo of the chapel: youtu.be/oioslrocuog

Beauregard Castle

Beauregard Castle

Château de Beauregard, built around 1250, was listed as a Historic Monument on June 1, 1964 (facades, roofs). A private castle, only the park and gardens are open to visitors during the summer season. It stands on a promontory, 25 meters above Lake Geneva. Its strategic position provided both protection and surveillance of the natural harbor formed by the Bay of Beauregard. The stones used to build the Château came from the demolition of the Château de Rovorée, and form a wall one metre thick, two metres high and 110 metres long. A pentagonal roof caps the keep, while a rounded corner tower completes the ensemble. In 1730, the Château courtyard was not yet open to the public, but the old fortifications and pits had already disappeared. Like all castles, Beauregard occupies a strategic position. It enabled the Count of Geneva, on whom it depended, to control navigation on Lake Geneva. Beauregard was originally a military construction, an outpost. From its sheltered harbor in the small gulf, galleys sailed to Versoix, loaded with wheat, wine and hay. Amédée VIII acquires the Genevois region and Beauregard became part of the Chablais region. A succession of owners followed. In 1670, Gaspard Costa bought the château. Since then, it has remained in the hands of the same Costa family. Damaged several times by the Bernese in 1536, and by the French Revolution in 1792, the building has undergone many transformations, but retains a magnificent pentagonal keep, currently topped by an impressive roof.
