The church at Is-en-Bassigny was devastated by the Normans as early as the 9th century. It also underwent a long period of renovation between 1741 and 1780 (reconstruction of the west gable wall, the stairwell, the nave vaults and the roof structure). The nave, built in the 13th century, consists of two vessels. The first, to the north, has three panelled bays, while the second, to the south, has four rib-vaulted bays. The choir, which dates from the second half of the 12th century, is two bays long: the first is cross-vaulted and supports the bell tower crowned with a slate pavilion roof, while the second is rib-vaulted and ends in a flat chevet. The west facade, choir, bays and buttresses are of ashlar, while the rest of the building is of rubble stone.
