Culture and History
The present Château d'Eybens is believed to date from 1610. The château stands on a hill above the historic town center and the passage toward the Champagnier Plateau and the foothills of the Belledonne range.
Rediscovered trompe-l'œil frescoes were uncovered in the chapel at Château d'Eybens; they probably date from the 17th century. The first known mention of the church of Eybens dates from the late 11th century; documents from the 15th century show that it is dedicated to Saint Christopher.
The first traces of the Château de la Commanderie date back to the mid-13th century. At that time, it was called “Maladrerie de la Levade,” was a leprosarium, and belonged to the Templars.
The Espace culturel Odyssée has an event hall with an auditorium for 300 people. The publicly accessible Côté Jardin area offers temporary exhibitions, workshops, and artist residencies.
