History & geography

History

The first documented reference to a settlement in what is now Saint-Jeoire-Prieuré can be traced to around 1100 CE, under the Latin name Ecclesia Sancti Georgii (; 'Parish of Saint George'). In 1110 CE, Bishop Hugues de Grenoble founded a priory of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine at Saint-Georges, to which the churches and parishes of Saint-Georges, Saint Pierre in Chignin, Saint Vincent in Triviers (today Challes-les-Eaux), Saint Jean-Baptiste in Barby and Saint Maurice in Curienne were initially assigned. Two centuries later, the variant Jeoire, latinized Jourius, was popularized in the Savoy and Piedmont regains and was adopted as the standard name used by the priory. In the following centuries, four more parishes were added. The priory was one of the first to be integrated into the Sainte Maison de Thonon in 1599, an instrument of counter-reformation in the Chablais created by Pope Clement VIII. The place name Prieuré was added to the commune name in 1901. The priory church of Saint-Georges du Prieuré is the only construct of the former priory still standing. The church was built during the last quarter of the 14th century into the 15th century, replacing the original Romanesque church from 1110 CE. Two bays from the original church were reused in the later building. The church and its inventory were designated as monument historique in 1956, recognizing its importance to the architectural, historical, and cultural heritage of France.
