Rhêmes-Saint-Georges Parish Church of St. George

The parish church of St. George has very ancient roots, being mentioned as early as in a bull of Pope Alexander III in 1176.
In the 18th century, the building was rebuilt, and in 1742 the Gilardi brothers made the statues of the triumphal beam.
Later, in 1833, it underwent another almost complete makeover.
In 1897, the interior was frescoed by Alessandro and Augusto Artari, well-known painters from Verrès.
