Église Saint-Grat, church located in Savoie, in France

The église Saint-Grat is a baroque and neoclassical church in Conflans, Albertville, built into the rock. Its pale facade has two levels: faded frescoes with figures above three small arched windows, and a wooden door with a rounded arch behind a metal railing. A green-domed lantern tops the dark roof, and a tower stands to the left.

A parish of Conflans is first mentioned in 1014, when King Rudolf III of Burgundy gave the church of Sainte-Marie de Conflans to his wife Ermengarde. The building burned in 1632 and was rebuilt larger on the rock between 1701 and 1720, with a changed orientation, by master architects Félix Michel, Albert Chiesaz and Pierre Jean Coterlaz. Consecrated in 1716, it was damaged during the Revolution: the bell tower was demolished in 1794 and rebuilt identically in 1804, and the retables were remade after 1815. Repairs followed around 1850.

The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Saint Grat, an early bishop from Aosta in Italy who is venerated as the protector of farms and crops. Reliquaries of the saint have been housed here since 1432, when they were given by the bishop of Aosta.

The church is open to visitors year-round and sits on a hill above Conflans with views over the surrounding area. Parking is available nearby, including spots for coaches, and pets are not allowed inside.

The church received relics of Saint Grat in 1432 from Oger Moriset, bishop of Aosta, the diocese where Grat had been bishop in the 5th century. The walnut pulpit of 1718 by Jacques Clerant carries the four Evangelists, and the monumental altarpiece was gilded with fine gold in 1708 by Claude-Antoine Marin of Flumet.
