Origin and history

The Saint-Gras Oratory of Bonneval-sur-Arc is a 17th-century religious building. Located in the municipality of Bonneval-sur-Arc, Savoie (Department 73), it has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1 December 1980. This status protects its architecture and heritage, reflecting its local cultural and historical significance.

The monument is the property of the municipality of Bonneval-sur-Arc, located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Although its precise location is estimated to be poor (level 5 out of 10), it remains a notable point of interest in this Alpine village. No additional information is available on its current use (visit, rental, accommodation).

In the 17th century, oratories often played a central role in the spiritual life of rural communities. In the Alps, these buildings served as places of prayer and gathering, marking the religious and social landscape of the villages. Their construction reflected local beliefs and divine protection needs in sometimes hostile mountain environments.
