Église Saint-Didier de Saint-Didier

Église Saint-Didier stands at the end of a tree-lined avenue in the village center, with the castle visible beyond it and connected by passageways. Inside, it displays architectural elements from different construction periods, including the main sanctuary and side chapels.

The church began as a simple stone hall in the 12th century and gained parish status in 1621, followed by expansions starting in 1662. This growth mirrors how the village community became more established over time.

The church is named after Saint Didier, Bishop of Vienne, who became the patron saint of the village's earliest inhabitants. This connection reflects how the community chose their spiritual guardian.

Access is straightforward from the village center, where a tree-lined path leads directly to the church. The connected castle can be explored nearby, enriching a visit to this local landmark.

Inside is a tabernacle from the 1700s supported by columns with angel statues and topped with a dome showing the Holy Trinity. This ornate piece is a rare example of religious craftsmanship from that era.
