Eglise Des Fins



The church of Saint-Joseph-des-Fins
The Basilica of St Joseph of Annecy was blessed for July 4, 1937, on the eve of the Second World War by Bishop Michael Florent from Villerabel, bishop of the diocese of Annecy




The initiator of the project was the priest Folliet Amedee, who thanks to his tenacity has led the project. The church was completed in 1941 by architect Paul Bellot Dom Benedictine, chunky style of the region, customized by this great innovator of contemporary sacred art, the eldest nearly 30 years Novarina. The interior of the building, erected in the rank of minor basilica by Pope Paul VI in 1964, outlawed almost all curves in favor of vaulting arches broken. The windows are Charlin. The construction of the Saint-Joseph-des-Fins accompanies the growth of the city of Annecy to the north, following the course of urbanization and airy yet conventional.
