Culture
The Tour d'Arces is the keep of a former medieval castle dating from the late 12th or early 13th century. Its remains include a square tower preserved to a height of 10 to 12 metres. The Tour d'Arces can be accessed year-round via a small path known as the Chemin de la tour d'Arces.
The Église de Saint-Ismier dates from the 12th century. The Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Vallée was built in 1865 by Marshal Count RANDON on his estate in Saint-Ismier and has an Oriental-inspired design. Access to the chapel is currently prohibited because the building is dangerous. From the outside, visitors can see stained-glass windows by the renowned Parisian glass painter Antoine LUSSON, including one dating from 1866.
The Mémorial Doyen GOSSE holds a memorial ceremony every year on 8 May to mark the end of the Second World War. It houses the remains of Doyen GOSSE and his son Jean; both were members of the Resistance and were arrested in December 1943. The Maison forte La Bâtie Champrond has a preserved medieval round brick tower with loopholes.
