Grenoble Cathedral: Facade, with Berruyer's additions

It is the seat of the Bishop of Grenoble (since 2006 Bishop of Grenoble-Vienne). First mention of the cathedral was 902; but the present church was rebuilt in the 13th century (through the 15th century). The cathedral was entirely remodeled 1862-1863 by the diocesan architect Alfred Berruyer. The innovative concrete facing added by Berruyer was removed in 1990 to reveal the original Romanesque facade. It stands as one of six buildings of a cathedral group: the cathedral (parish) church of St. Hugh, the bishop's house, baptistery, the cloister and the building of the canons. It is rare that all these elements are still extant.
