The church of Saint-Maurice, ruined during the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt between 1722 and 1724, is a homogeneous and balanced work in the neo-classical style. The stained glass windows were donated by the Baron de l'Horme and basket-makers (proceeds from a sale of wood and private contributions from local residents), and could be the work of the Rémois glass painter André Vermonet or the Champigneulle workshop in Paris. Joseph-Constant Ménissier produced two interesting paintings: one of Amable Thiberte, mayor and general councillor, in the St-Nicolas chapel; the other dedicated to the Virgin Mary, above the altar.
The church still has a bell tower dating from 1680 (raised in 1741) and houses a high altar sculpted by Abel Jaillet, a local sculptor. The bell tower and façade are listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments.
Another listed item is a 14th-century Virgin and Child.
Also of note: an original tabernacle and a canopy. The other statues date from the 18th century. The building comprises a nave and aisles, transept, choir and aisles, polygonal apse and groin vaults.
Free admission all year round (outside only except for ceremonies).
