HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Peney ChapelThe chapel sits on a small ridge overlooking a loop of the Rhône, separate from the villages of Peney-Dessus and Peney-Dessous.
It was built on the site of a 13th-century church, part of the medieval castle's walls. Reconstructed in the early 18th century, it reflects the typical rural Protestant temple of that era with its rectangular layout, simple façades, limited windows, and traditional arcade bell tower.
The interior was reversed in 1962, with restorations in 1961 and 1986-1987, and excavations in 1985.

Saint-Pierre-and-Saint-Paul churchIn the early 20th century, Reverend Father Chancenotte, inspired by the devotion of the faithful in Satigny, acquired land to build a church.
Designed by architect Mr. Reimann, the church was consecrated on September 6, 1903, by Bishop Broquet. The architect chose a unique vernacular style with steep roofs and exposed wood.
On 25 November 25 1951, a replica of the Black Virgin of Einsiedeln was placed in a niche on the church's southwest gable after a high mass was held in honour of the visit of Bishop B. Gut, the Reverend Father-Abbot of Einsiedeln.

Satigny TempleArchaeological excavations between 1975 and 1977 uncovered remnants of the first Christian building, a wooden structure dating from the 7th-8th century.
The first masonry sanctuary, dating to the 10th century, was also revealed. In the 11th century, two side chapels were added, and in the following century, two aisles were built.
The church was altered and reduced in the 13th century, with a slightly raised apse and vaulted choir. It remains one of the few examples still preserved in the canton.

Le Vieux ClocherThe bell tower in Peissy, set back from the street, is the façade of an ancient sanctuary, the parish church of Saint-Paul, first mentioned in 1295. It was likely older and deconsecrated before the Revolution.
After the Reformation, it merged with Satigny’s church. In 1828, the Galiffe family acquired it under the condition that the bell and wall remain public. Saved from demolition in 1830, it represents one of the few remaining examples of early regional church architecture.
Restored in 1970, the bell has no date or inscription.
