The church of Saint-Barthélemy was the seat of a parish priest appointed by the local abbot. According to Abbé Mulson, Pierre de Champignelles, abbot of Vaux-la-Douce from 1709 to 1739, was responsible for the construction of this building (in 1720 according to Abbé Roussel), which served as a chapel for lay people. After the Revolution, it was used as housing and a school, and was returned to worship in 1867. In 1876, the architect Girard rebuilt the porch tower. The church is basilical in plan. It is preceded by a porch topped by a slate-roofed bell tower. The nave and choir are covered with a ceiling of flaked and machine tiles. They are lit by two series of three round-headed windows. Only a choir screen separates the choir from the nave.
