Points of interest

Buth Chapel
Buth Chapel
This chapel is also known as Notre-Dame-des-Neiges (our lady of the snow) chapel because according to legend, the Virgin Mary herself chose the spot for this chapel by making snow flakes fall here in August. Built in 1684, the chapel has an octagonal layout and a bell tower overlooking an imperial roof. The capstone of the vaulted ceiling is decorated with the founders' shields: the Castella brothers (Neirivue parish priest), Jean (Broc prior) and Jacques (lieutenant). Their coat of arms are also featured on the 1685 baroque retable.

Lessoc
Lessoc
The village of Lessoc is in the federal inventory of sites of national importance. It is made up of a dense network of houses and farms from the golden age of Gruyère, with strong presence of late gothic decor (window and door frames) modeled after those of the medieval city of Gruyères. It is one of the rare villages in the l’Intyamon to have a square with a remarkable covered fountain.
