Culture and history
Saint-Laurent became Trévignin's parish church in 1513. The present Église paroissiale Saint-Laurent was rebuilt at a new location according to a plan drawn up by the architect Joseph Tournier and approved in 1831. Construction was awarded to the contractor Georges Vuillermet on 10 March 1832; the work was accepted on 6 January 1833.
The Oratoire de Notre-Dame de La Salette in Trévignin was built by Thérèse Francoz in 1863 and blessed on 6 May 1863. The restored oratory is a rectangular, chapel-like structure with an interior space vaulted in a semicircle and niches for statues.
The Oratoire de Notre-Dame des Collines, also called the Chapelle des Mailland, stands at the intersection of the Route du Revard (D 913) and a small path. It was built by the Mailland family in 1846. The Oratoire de saint Victor was probably built around 1970 near the site of the destroyed Chapelle Saint-Victor.
