The oldest religious building in the city, Notre-Dame Church was also its only parish church until the end of the 18th century. Modified several times, it was provided with an arrow burned by lightning in 1619\. A new tower with a dome was built in 1728\. Founded by the Countess Sophie in 1088 on the site of the first sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin, the priory of Notre-Dame depends on the rich abbey of Saint-Mihiel.
With the western façade, this architectural ensemble, designed by the monk architect Nicolas Pierson, introduces a classical ornamental vocabulary: pilasters, railings, dome. The high relief of the Assumption of the Virgin, due to the chisel of the sculptor Louis Humbert, surmounts the entrance porch since 1751\. Conventual buildings (cloisters, gardens, places of life of the monks) organized around the church remain only part transformed into civil hospices from 1812\. A square replaces the parish cemetery that adjoined the church to the east.
