NOTRE-DAME DE L'ASSOMPTION CHURCH
With its imposing clocher tower, this is a church with character. It was built in the th century at the location of a parish church which was part of the city walls. They are still being guessed in the current entry. Interior decoration dates mainly from the th century, including the paintings at the Saint Vincent-de-Paul and Saint-Antoine chapels. The organ is considered the oldest of the Jura, and was installed in 1725 by the famous Marine Carouge organ factor. Don't miss the treasure of this church: a superb medieval paving from the old castle of Orgelet. It dates back to the th century. In the narthex, a statue of the Immaculate Conception recalls that the future Pope Pius IX passed here in 1810. Finally, connoisseurs can admire beautiful exhibits displayed in a showcase: a white vestment of the 1900 th century, and another of, painted on silk
