Exceptional opening of the doors of the historic church of the village of Sarcenas, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September, from 10am to 6pm. The church of Sarcenas is attested around 1100, in the cartulary of Saint-Hughes, under the name of Saint-Barthelemy de Cercenas. It is only reported as a secondary church, or chapel, dependent on the priory of Saint-Robert de Cornillon. During the Middle Ages, it became a parish church. It is accompanied by a curial house, but Sarcenas no longer has a permanent parish priest from about 1860. From then on it is the one of the Sappey who ensures the masses. The bell tower of the church of Saint-Barthélémy de Sarcenas has 2 bells, one from 1660 and the other from 1858. On the pediment is a clock made by the house Odobey Cadet, which sounded the hours, half and repetition of the hours by tinkling the bell of 1858. The enamelled copper outer dial is still in place and dates from 1909.
