Historique

La chapelle est édifiée en 1536 à l'entrée du village sur la « route des épices » entre Lyon et Milan, d'où son premier nom de Notre-Dame-du-Poivre. Plus tard, en 1652, elle sera dédiée à Notre-Dame-de-la-Visitation. À l'intérieur on peut voir de nombreux ex-votos, dons de paroissiens lors des pèlerinages, ainsi qu'un retable réalisé par Sébastien Rosaz en 1710. En 1841, l'édifice fut restauré avec l'ajout de deux nefs adjacentes et de l'élévation du chœur (La date de 1841, dernière restauration est inscrite au-dessus de la porte d'entrée). La chapelle est classée monument historique en 1987.
