Saint Peter's Church of Engollon

Highlight • Religious Site

William of Aarberg (1378–1436), Count of Aarberg and Lord of Valangin, built a chapel in 1427 in memory of his deceased wife. The church tower dates from 1685. A significant alteration took place in 1803 with the construction of the present stone tower and the remodeling of the nave.
Well-preserved frescoes from the 14th century were discovered in 1924. The Gothic wall paintings depict episodes from the life of Christ, while the vault depicts the symbols of the Evangelists around a majestic Christ.

Llamas at Chaumont

Highlight • Natural

Nestled at the top of Chaumont, do not hesitate to stop to admire the small herd of alpacas. You will catch your breath while admiring these inconvenient animals in our latitude and yet so nice! 🦙🦙🦙
