Church built between 1746 and 1749 on a centralised plan. The presbytery dates from the 19th century. The church comprises a porch tower typical of Franche-Comté. The plan in Greek cross is fairly rare. The dome on pendentives rests on four columns with Ionic capitals. Inside, all the wooden and stucco furnishings (high altar, retable, statues, ...) is the work of Hubert in 1750. The ironwork is from the 18th century. The dome and pendentives are painted by Joseph Garret, Vesulian painter, in 1880. The church is surrounded by the cemetery.
