The Reposoir Church was designed by the same architect as the Saint-Sigismond Church: Father Rouge. Built in 1849 on a Greek cross plan, it had no bell tower due to a lack of funds.

In 1888, the church—deemed too small for its 430 residents—was expanded, and a Latin cross plan was adopted. The wooden belfry was replaced by the current bell tower, and the work was funded by the Carthusians. Inside, you’ll see eight stained-glass windows created by the Bessac workshop in Grenoble and a statue of Blessed John of Spain. For a detailed history of the church and the village, contact our heritage guide, Anne-France Binder.
