Founded on the right bank of the Isère river, the collegiate church of Saint-Barnard stands on the site of the first church built in 837 by Barnard, archbishop of Vienna. In the tenth century, the Benedictine monks were replaced by a college of canons, hence the name of collegiate church.
Built entirely in molasse, the Saint-Barnard collegiate church combines the Romanesque period (lower part of the nave) and the Gothic period (upper part, choir and transept).
The upper part of the nave is elevated on the Romanesque walls and the vaulted vault of warheads is raised to 24 meters from the ground. The Romanesque capitals of the nave are surmounted by remarkable sculptures of biblical characters, animals and acanthus leaves.
Devastated on several occasions, rebuilt, restored, enlarged, raised, the collegiate church as we know it today is the result of an architecture built from the eleventh to the eighteenth century.
