The Church of Saint-Jacques and St-Christophe de Chaux-Neuve were consecrated on March 19, 1487 by Monsignor Henri Potin, bishop of Philadelphia, suffragan of Monsignor Charles de Neufchâtel, archbishop of Besançon. Enlarged over time, the last modification (the construction of the belltower) dates from 1686.
A church remarkable for its richness and its interior architecture, it has been listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments since 1926. Many pieces of furniture are classified as Historic Monuments (6 altarpieces, baptistery, wooden panels painted on both sides, pulpit, statues of St Peter in alabaster, of St Joseph in polychrome wood, wooden Calvary, bench of the faithful…). All ribbed vaulted with highly decorated bases, it has an important and varied heraldic decoration, in particular a magnificent coat of arms of the Habsburgs, owners of Franche-Comté for two centuries and several coats of arms of the Chalons.
