The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
A la fin du 11e siècle, les Bénédictins fondent le prieuré de Megève dont dépend toute la partie septentrionale du Val d'Arly. La paroisse de Saint-Nicolas-la-Chapelle est la première à se détacher de la paroisse-mère. Saint-François de Sales aurait prêché dans la première église, en 1606. En 1701, l'édifice comportait une nef avec tribune, un choeur et six chapelles. En 1766, l'église menaçant ruine, l'évêché décide sa reconstruction. Les plans sont exécutés par Quenot puis Jean Dupuy. Plan en croix latine avec nef unique et transept. Les retables du transept, le maître-autel et le baldaquin sont réalisés par Joseph Gillardi et Jean-Charles Moulin. Le décor peint exécuté en 1866 a été refait en 1942 par Henri Modena et en 1977 par Faurot et Garnier.

History
At the end of the 11th century, the Benedictines founded the priory of Megève on which depended the entire northern part of the Val d'Arly. The parish of Saint-Nicolas-la-Chapelle was the first to separate from the mother parish. Saint-François de Sales is said to have preached in the first church, in 1606. In 1701, the building comprised a nave with gallery, a choir and six chapels. In 1766, with the church threatening to collapse, the bishopric decided on its reconstruction. The plans were executed by Quenot then Jean Dupuy. Latin cross plan with a single nave and transept. The retables of the transept, the high altar and the baldachin were executed by Joseph Gillardi and Jean-Charles Moulin. The painted décor executed in 1866 was redone in 1942 by Henri Modena and in 1977 by Faurot and Garnier.
