Origin and history

The bridge of the Tannerie is a monument located in the commune of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartrouse, in the department of Isère (38), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Built in the 16th century, it crossed the Guiers-Mort, an emblematic stream of the region. This bridge, whose location is estimated to be "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), is listed in the Merimée base under the code Insee 38442, corresponding to the commune of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartrouse.

Ranked a Historical Monument by order of 1 May 1923, the bridge of the Tannery is one of the protected elements of French heritage. Although available sources (Monumentum, internal data) do not specify its original use or its possible transformations, its classification reflects its architectural or historical importance. No information is provided on its current accessibility, its possible tourist functions (visits, rentals), or its conservation status.

In the 16th century, the region of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartrouse, integrated into the former Dauphiné province, was a rural and mountainous area where economic activities were based on agriculture, livestock, and the exploitation of forest resources. Bridges, such as the Tannery, played a crucial role in local exchanges and the clearing of valleys. Their construction often reflected artisanal know-how transmitted since the Middle Ages, adapted to the geographical constraints of the Alps.
