The building to the left is an earlier Chapel of the Visitation, attached to a cloister; the present Basilica of the Visitation by Alfred-Henri Recoura was built 1909-1930 on a hill overlooking the town.

Saint-Maurice is the former Dominican church, built in the 15th century. It boasts a picturesque location on the Saint Dominique canal. At the back of the chancel is a trompe-l'oeil painting of the tomb of Philibert de Monthouz (1458), adviser to the dukes of Savoy and Burgundy and a local lord. The choir stalls date back to the end of the 18th century and the pulpit, dates from 1715. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Saint Maurice church held a central position in local life. Craft guilds and prominent families founded chapels there; there are carved draper's scissors on the casement window of the second chapel on the right in the church. Saint Maurice is the patron saint of Annecy and Savoy.
