HISTORIC BUILDINGS

Avully TempleThis temple was built in 1716 by the Republic of Geneva and is believed to have been constructed from two separate buildings. In 1836, the façade was rebuilt with the addition of a bell tower. The porch with columns was constructed in 1915.
For administrative reasons, the village of Avully was attached to the parish of Cartigny until 1838.
The temple underwent its first restoration between 1974 and 1975, followed by a second restoration in 2004-2005.
