In 1657, the relics of Saint-Didier were deposited in the original church. Burnt down during the Thirty Years' War, rebuilt between 1777 and 1784 and extended in 1832, it is one of the largest churches in the region. The nave has five bays, a projecting transept whose arms end in a semicircular wall, and an ambulatory, all of which are barrel-vaulted. The apse is barrel-vaulted. Numerous statues from the 16th and 18th centuries; bas-reliefs from the 16th century. The bell tower was built in 1861. The church's bell tower is in the keys of C, D, E and G.
The church's great organ was designed and built entirely by a handful of volunteers. The adventure began in 1995. Despite the constraints of a "crazy" project, those in charge were able to bring this magnificent achievement to fruition. Every year, the annual concert of the Arts et Loisirs en Haute-Amance association is an opportunity to celebrate this achievement.
