Visit to the bell tower

Located in the heart of Les Diablerets, the Temple de Vers-l’Église is a valuable testament to the history and traditions of the Vaud Alps. Its bell tower, built in 1494, houses three historic bells, the oldest of which dates back to 1564.

On July 30, 2025, an accident marked a turning point in the church’s history: the large bell, weighing about one and a half metric tons, came loose and crashed through the bell tower’s floor.

Since then, preserving this heritage has been a top priority. Renovations and studies were necessary to ensure the structure’s safety and allow the bells to be returned to their rightful place.
A visit to the temple offers the opportunity to discover a place steeped in history and to better understand the importance of preserving this unique heritage for future generations. Gain access to the highest and most secret part of the temple—its bell tower—and enjoy a glass of wine, courtesy of the municipality, at the end of the tour.
