Explore Gramond Gramond Heritage
The first thing you notice when arriving in Gramond is the large 3-wing building, formerly house of the Domican Sisters, a congregation founded in 1843. Nowadays, it has become a retirement home.
Close by, in the inner village, stands a magnificent oratory - classified as a historical monument - that shelters a Pieta, masterpiece of the 16th-century sculpture. It depicts a Virgin hugging Christ's arm, with Saint John and Saint Magdalena by her side.
Nearby, waits for you Ceres, Goddess of the Harvest, a sculpture made by Paul Belmondo (1898-1982). This sculptor is considered as one of the most significant Contemporary Neoclassism artist. He gave this masterpiece to Vincent Bourrel, senior civil servant, whose wife had ties in Gramond.
