Culture

The present-day Église Saint Christophe was rebuilt in 1874 after the medieval church dating from the early 14th century burned down in 1870. The portal and the interior of the vestibule of the medieval church were integrated into the new building.

As part of the renovation carried out from 2020 to 2022, the ordinary and damaged windows of the Église Saint Christophe were replaced with stained-glass artworks signed by Arcabas.

Since the years 1945 to 1950, cars and travellers have been blessed in Saint-Christophe-sur-Guiers on the last Sunday in July to celebrate Saint Christopher. This includes both historic and modern vehicles, as well as travellers using any means of transport.
