St. Andrew’s Collegiate Church

804
This Gothic monument (1228), built for the Dauphins of Viennois, dominates Grenoble’s old town with its tall spire. Its placement before the snowy Alpine peaks embodies the city’s dual identity as both dynastic seat and mountain gateway. The church’s silhouette remains a civic landmark linking Grenoble’s medieval power to its alpine setting.
