Perched in the French Alps above Les Houches, the Statue of Christ the King is a monumental Art Deco work designed by architect Georges Serraz and completed in 1934. Standing 25 meters tall and constructed from larch wood, reinforced concrete, and gold leaf, the figure overlooks the Chamonix valley with characteristic streamlined forms of its era. The statue has been designated a monument historique inscrit, reflecting its significance as both a religious landmark and an exemplar of early twentieth-century alpine architecture.
