A commemorative plaque inside Saint-Nicolas church and two stones placed on either side of the west portal record the reconstruction of the building. Work began in 1843, thanks to the determination and energy of Canon Jean-Nicolas Sauvage, parish priest of Damrémont for 49 years, Father Bouvier, also a parish priest, and the parishioners. The building, designed by Langres architect Paul Péchiné, was consecrated on 8 September 1875 by Mgr Parisis, Bishop of Langres. However, a closer look at the building reveals that it was not completely rebuilt. The choir of the old church, with its capitals probably dating from the 13th century, appears to have been preserved.
This elongated building has an east nave with three vessels, six bays long, covered by a single roof. The bell tower, crowned by a polygonal slate spire, stands on the first bay of the north aisle. A projecting transept opens onto secondary chapels through the east walls of its arms. The choir consists of a right-hand bay (which also opens onto the secondary chapels) and a second right-hand bay followed by a three-sided apse. These last two sections are covered by groin vaults with radiating quarters. The buttresses, bays and upper part of the bell tower are of sandstone ashlar, while the rest of the building is of rubble stone.
St-Nicolas church contains two monumental paintings by Jourd'heuil, known as Télémaque.
