This parish church Sainte-Marie-Madeleine in Montigny, dating from the 13th century, was rebuilt shortly after the Wars of Religion. The single-bay choir with its ribbed vault and the transept, also featuring a ribbed vault, were renovated at the end of the 16th century by local dignitaries, who left their coats of arms on either side of the triumphal arch: the Genevans on the left and the descendants of the Saladins of Anglure on the right. The church, which lay in ruins after the French Revolution, was rebuilt in 1828 according to plans by the architect Chaussier from Chaumont. To the left of the entrance is the 18th-century wooden altar dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. Also noteworthy is the 18th-century wrought-iron choir screen.

The Meuse here is very small. It has not yet reached the dimensions of a river. The watercourse is more like a river where it is nice to dip your feet in the water.
