The church at Colmier-le-Haut was once dedicated to Saint-Bénigne. The construction of its tower-porch, which dates from 1830, necessitated the destruction of the old bell tower, which was built over the choir. The nave of the old building dated from the 12th or 13th century and its vaults had been replaced by a ceiling in 1676. The entire building was rebuilt, keeping the 1830 bell tower, using local materials: tuff from Rolampont, sand from the Colmier-le-Bas, Colmier-le-Haut and Germaines quarries, rubble from the Chamblain and Changey quarries .... Work on the church was completed in 1881, but three years later, damage occurred on the exterior of the church (problems with the foundations and water drainage), leading to a new phase of work. The church has a five-bay nave with three aisles, a porch tower dating from 1830 in the south-west corner, crowned by a polygonal slate-roofed spire, and a choir with a straight bay followed by a three-sided apse.
