Historic Churches of Grenoble

Grenoble’s religious heritage spans nearly two millennia, from the 6th-century Merovingian crypt at the Saint-Laurent Archaeological Museum to the 20th-century concrete architecture of Saint-Joseph. The collection features the 13th-century Saint-André Collegiate Church, which houses the tombs of the Dauphins, and the Romanesque-Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral.
