The village became part of the parish of Vitrey-sur-Mance (70), which was made a branch parish by ordinance on 15 April 1841, and was served by the parish priest of Vitrey.
The church is under the protection of Saint-Gilbert.
It was built on land donated by Didière Cardinale, widow of Jean Pierron (1729), with the permission of the Bishop of Langres, Gilbert de Montmorin de Saint-Herem (1743-1770), hence the dedication to Saint-Gilbert.
It was built in 1737 by Jean Boicelle, a stonemason in Ouge (70), a neighbouring village. Enlarged in 1789.
Completely restored, inside and out, thanks to the efforts of the villagers, between 2003 and 2007.

Its highly original bell tower, rebuilt around 1868, has buttresses at the base and is made up of three storeys set back slightly from one another. The upper window is decorated with a boudin.
The building has two bells: one dating from 1841, cast by Barret frères of Breuvannes in Haute-Marne; the other from 1951, christened by the parish priest Hograindleur of Laître in Haute-Saône, to which the village belonged at the time.

Single nave with two bays, cross-vaulted with a low double arch.
