The Église Saint-Pierre de Lémenc in Chambéry, France, was built in the 11th century on the site of a possible 6th-century Roman temple dedicated to the god Mercure. This church stands out as one of the oldest in Chambéry and Savoie.
Although the church was built on the vestiges of a possible 6th-century Roman temple, the precise date of the temple's establishment remains uncertain according to the sources. The site dates back to the Roman Empire, with evidence of a villa gallo-romaine from the 1st century.
