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.

The medieval Notre-Dame Cathedral stands in the historic center, while the Art Museum offers modern exhibition spaces. The city includes the Tour Perret, a cylindrical tower building from the 1920s, and the Garage hélicoïdal, a spiral parking structure from the same era. Religious buildings such as Saint-Louis Church and Saint-Bruno Church represent different stylistic periods. The Sainte-Cécile Convent and the Palace of the Parliament of Dauphiné show historic administrative and ecclesiastical architecture. The Bastille fortress overlooks the city and can be reached by cable car from Quai Stéphane Jay. The Hôtel de Lesdiguières and the Old Episcopal Palace document aristocratic residential culture. Paul-Mistral Park forms a large green space containing Lesdiguières Stadium and the Alpexpo conference center. The Saint-Laurent Bridge crosses the Isère River, while the Sainte-Claire market halls house daily commerce. Vizille Castle lies outside the city in the commune of the same name. The Musée dauphinois and the Museum of Resistance and Deportation present regional history, complemented by cultural facilities such as the MC2 cultural center and Le Magasin des horizons.
