History
In 1330, Jean de Tillié, lord of Fontaine-la-Henri, confirmed to the abbey of Ardennes the possession of the church of Cuy and its dependencies. From 1802 onwards, the church is used as a simple oratory. The Romanesque portal and the herringbone arrangement of the walls of the bell tower could indicate a construction of the 11th century. This building is characteristic of first Romanesque art.
