The first listed monument in the department, the church forms a complex heterogeneous ensemble. Almost completely devastated during the Great War, the building was rebuilt in the same way during a long construction project completed in 1952; in addition to rare Romanesque elements, the church had preserved its radiant Gothic nave, while its slender choir had been rebuilt in the flamboyant era and its bell tower added in the 17th century. J. and J.-J. Grüber created a set of coloured stained glass windows. The interior includes important furniture, including a 1528 Piétà attributed to Ligier Richier, paintings of scenes from the Passion (16th century) and a Way of the Cross by N. Untersteller.

Built in 1865, this building with geometric shapes was funded largely by the upper mother of the hospice. A place of care for children at the lowest age, it was ceded to the city and became a nursery school. The arms of the Marshal of Luxembourg are carved on one side of the building and those of Saint Charles Borromeo on the other side. The inscription «Let me come to the small children» is on the front of the entrance. It currently houses the municipal library, an exhibition room and the tourist office.

Inside, you will discover the stained glass windows by Jean-Jacques Gruber from 1936, the chapel of the Dead, a family burial ground founded in 1540 by Claude de la Vallée, the chapel known as "Saint-Roch" and the burial ground, a set of six statues including the Holy Woman with a bonnet, a 16th century sculpture attributed to Ligier Richier

The abbey of Jovilliers, of the order of the premounted, dates from the 12th century. Today, almost no element of the original abbey remains, all the current buildings are reconstructions made of Savonnières-en-Perthois stone. Only the outbuildings, the covered well, splendid vaulted cellars and part of the abbey buildings have survived. The church has kept its facade decorated with two square towers. The cloister still has its vaulted galleries and the 18th century abbey house consists of several spacious rooms. The association Jovilliers échanges et culture has been working for more than twenty years to preserve this heritage and make the abbey known. To date, the aim is to revive this space, to create an active cultural centre within the rural world.
