St Joseph's church is a recent addition to Bourmont's architectural and religious history. Previously, the parish church, dedicated to Notre-Dame, was located slightly below and surrounded by the cemetery.
In 1853, the Conseil de fabrique, which was responsible for managing the parish church, informed the town council that the Notre-Dame church was in an advanced state of disrepair, to the point where it was becoming difficult to hold services.
After a study of the building, the verdict was in: emergency work alone would be too costly for the two councils, and a new building was needed.
