Saint-Laurent church has a nave dating from the late 12th century. Its particularity lies in the fact that the building changed its orientation in 1837, as attested by the commemorative stone laid when the western portal was modified, which necessitated a major overhaul: simply note the demolition of the choir to rebuild it on the other side, the removal of the nave vaults, or the raising of the walls and installation of a false barrel vault. Built of sandstone and elongated in plan, the Meuse church today comprises a single nave covered by a false barrel vault, a tower-porch crowned by a slate spire, two secondary chapels and a choir covered by a false dome.
