Impossible to miss this beautiful church all alone at the end of this grassy path. Its history echoes the construction of the Notre-Dame de Fourvières basilica in 1870 following the wish of the Lyonnais to build it if the Prussians do not cross the Saône. Indeed, Claude Gindre, the owner of the Château de Laverdines since 1860, is a silk worker from Lyon and makes a similar wish concerning the Vauvise valley. He kept his promise in 1873 by having this chapel dedicated to the Virgin built, but outside the castle grounds so that all the villagers could have access to it. A replica of the Virgin Mary which crowns the Lyon basilica was initially on its roof and is today preserved on the ground, next to the church. It was bought by the municipality in 1893 for a symbolic franc and then work was undertaken with the help of the heritage foundation between 2016 and 2019 in order to repair significant external damage. Behind the gate on the other side of the road, you can see Laverdines Castle in the distance.

The Laverdines Church having been destroyed, the village no longer had a parish. During the invasion of Prussia in 1870, Claude Gindre, then owner of the castle of Laverdines, promised to build a chapel if Prussia did not cross the Loire. The promise was kept with the construction from 1873 to 1875 of this chapel, ceded to the state for a symbolic Franc in 1983. It is well maintained, and is located right next to the Castle of the same name, which cannot be visited.
