Église Saint-Bruno de Grenoble, Catholic church in Saint-Bruno district, Grenoble, France.
Église Saint-Bruno is a church building in the Saint-Bruno district of Grenoble, distinguished by its 67-meter bell tower. The exterior walls are constructed with molded cement stones designed to resemble cut stone blocks.
Construction of the church began in 1869 and was completed in 1878, with four different architects involved throughout the project. This extended building period with changing leadership shaped its final appearance.
Inside the church, two notable paintings by Jules Flandrin depict scenes from Saint Bruno's life in the choir area. These artworks shape the spiritual setting and invite contemplation.
The church is located at 53 Place Saint-Bruno and can be reached via tram lines A and B. It welcomes visitors throughout the year.
After completion, this church was Grenoble's tallest building until 1925, when Tour Perret surpassed it in height. This prominence marked a notable phase of the city's development.
