Collégiale Saint-André

Cathedral built as early as the 10th century, which underwent multiple alterations and improvements until the 19th century.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart was built from 1922 onwards in a Romanesque-Byzantine style. Although unfinished, the basilica was consecrated in 1943. The present altar is the only ancient element of the basilica, probably originating from the priory of Saint-Martin de Misèré founded by Hugues de Grenoble around 1100. An extensive renovation and extension project began in October 2013 and was completed in early 2016.

The Grande Chartreuse Monastery is the first monastery as well as the mother house of the hermit monks of the Carthusian order. The legend of the foundation of the monastery tells that a group of several monks, guided by Bishop Hugues de Grenoble (1080 to 1132), settled in June 1084 in the Chartreuse valley. Since the 19th century, the Grande-Chartreuse community has been known to oversee the production of the popular Chartreuse liqueur.
