Église de l'Assomption

-

The Church of the Assumption was built in 1749 and its bell tower in 1804. Above its altar are two paintings from a triptych by the artist Jean Poyet, painted around 1502.

The work was commissioned by Jean IV de Chalon, Prince of Orange, to decorate the chapel of the Franciscan convent in Nozeroy, before being dismembered when the convent was closed and sold to the State during the French Revolution.

After spending more than three months at the Musée du Louvre as part of an exhibition, the paintings were recently returned to their place of origin, with the exception of the central part of the triptych, which is not in the church. They have been listed as historic monuments since 1930.
