About Corsier:
Corsier’s history stretches back to the 13th century, later coming under the control of the House of Savoy before passing to Geneva’s bourgeoisie. From 1816 to 1858, it formed a single commune with Anières.
The area is notable for its rich archaeological heritage, including prehistoric pile dwellings along the lake and the remains of a Roman villa.
Traditionally rural, Corsier has seen significant growth since the 1960s while retaining much of its village charm. Its parish reflects this layered past, having shifted from Catholicism to Protestantism in 1536, before returning to the Catholic faith following the Savoy restoration.

Eglise Saint-Jean-BaptisteCorsier had been a gathering place since ancient times, possibly as early as the 4th millennium BC, with six megaliths found near the current Chapel of the Virgin.
A Gallo-Roman villa was built at the end of the 1st century AD, with a small rectangular building added later, marking the first Christian worship site.
By the 6th century, it became a church. Over the centuries, the church underwent several expansions, including a Gothic chancel in the 13th century. The current structure dates from 1826.
