Read moreThe 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.
