Architecture in Geneva

Geneva brings together a striking range of architectural periods within a compact area. The Cathédrale Saint-Pierre, Saint-Paul et Saint-André crowns the old-town hill, while the neo-Gothic Basilica Notre-Dame of Geneva and the classical Brunswick Monument reflect different eras of the city's built heritage. The Bibliothèque de Genève speaks to Geneva's long scholarly tradition, and the Broken Chair offers a striking contemporary counterpoint near the international quarter. Beyond the city, the medieval monastic complexes of Abbaye de Bonmont, Abbaye Sainte-Marie-d'Aulps, and Abbaye de Saint-Claude reward a detour, alongside Château Choully and the engineering structure of the Barrage de Génissiat.
