Origin and history

The church Saint-André de La Côte-Saint-André is a Catholic religious building located in the department of Isère, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Built between 1088 and 1102, it features a mixture of Romanesque and ogival styles, with a quadrangular bell tower. The church underwent several changes until the 19th century, as evidenced by its various architectural elements, including stained glass windows, a crucifix and a carved marble master altar. It is located opposite the Place Saint-André, near the old ramparts of the city, and falls under the parish of Sainte Marie de Bièvre-Liers, attached to the diocese of Grenoble-Vienne.

The building was listed as historic monuments by order of February 5, 1982, thereby recognizing its heritage value. Owned by the commune, the church is a central point of the village of La Côte-Saint-André, historically linked to the province of Dauphiné. Its location, in the heart of the city, reflects its importance in local life, both religiously and socially. Available sources, such as the Guides-Joanne of 1865, underline its hybrid character, mixing Romanesque and Gothic influences.

The precise location of the church is at 5 Rue des Remparts, in an area marked by the medieval history of the city. Its access is facilitated by the Transisère transport network, with a nearby stop at Place Hector-Berlioz. The church remains an active place of worship, integrated into the urban and religious landscape of the region, while being an architectural testimony of the eras that marked its evolution, from the 11th to the 19th century.
