Collégiale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Saint-Donat, Historical monument in Saint-Donat-sur-l'Herbasse, France.

The architectural complex includes the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Saint Michael Chapel, cloister remains, and the Delphinal Palace bell tower.

The relics of Saint Donat, brought by the Bishop of Grenoble in the 8th century, led to renaming the village from Jovinzieu to Saint-Donat.

The collegiate church houses an organ built between 1968 and 1971 by Curt Schwenkedel, specifically designed for performing Johann Sebastian Bach compositions.

The monument welcomes visitors throughout the year and serves as a central point for cultural and community activities in the region.

The cloister features a modern statue depicting Saint Donat repelling a dragon, illustrating a local legend sculpted by Jean-Louis Fournier.
