ANIÈRES

About Anières:

The shore of Anières hosted a pile dwelling settlement from 3000-2500 BC. During the Roman era, settlers lived on the ridge, later became a necropolis from the 3rd to the 7th century near Chevrens.
The Anières-Bassy pile dwelling dates to the Late Bronze Age (around 900 BC).
In the Middle Ages, Anières was an independent parish under the Saint-Victor priory. The Anières family, vassals of the Faucignys, owned the Bassy castle.
In 1816, Anières joined the Swiss canton of Geneva, and in 1858, it split into Anières and Corsier.

HISTORIC BUILDINGS

Anières ChapelThe Protestant chapel of Anières, likely designed by Henri Juvet in 1890, was funded by a donation from Mrs. Maracci-Moricand.
It features a simple rectangular structure with a neo-Gothic portal and bell tower.
Restorations occurred in 1957, 1990, and 2011, with the chapel reopening in 2012.
