The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
En 1560, en pleine Réforme, les protestants prirent possession de la chapelle Saint-André et la convertirent en temple. En 1622, après l'édit de Nantes, elle fut à nouveau occupée par les catholiques et les protestants trouvèrent refuge dans la demeure d'un chevalier, devenue maison commune au 15ème siècle, où ils purent célébrer leurs offices de 1622 à 1684. Des tribunes furent installées afin d'accueillir les participants. Grâce à sa fonction de maison commune, et en dépit de la révocation de l'édit de Nantes en 1685, le temple fut préservé de la destruction. L'édifice retrouva sa vocation de temple de 1807 à 1935 puis devint le siège du musée du protestantisme dauphinois créé entre 1959 et 1961. Le bâtiment s'agrandit entre 1976 et 1978, avec une salle donnant sur le musée au rez-de-chaussée ainsi qu'une bibliothèque et un appartement à l'étage.

History
In 1560, in the midst of the Reformation, the protestants took possession of the chapel of Saint-André and converted it into a temple. In 1622, after the Edict of Nantes, it was again occupied by the catholics and the protestants found refuge in the residence of a knight, which became a common house in the 15th century, where they were able to celebrate their services from 1622 to 1684. Galleries were installed to accommodate the participants. Thanks to its function as a common house, and despite the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, the temple was preserved from destruction. The building recovered its vocation as a temple from 1807 to 1935 then became the seat of the museum of Dauphiné protestantism created between 1959 and 1961. The building was enlarged between 1976 and 1978, with a room overlooking the museum on the ground floor as well as a library and an apartment on the upper floor.
