Origin and history

The church of the Assumption of Noidans-les-Vesoul is a Catholic building built between 1776 and 1778 by architect Anatole Amoudru, according to a centered plan. It is distinguished by its hors-oeuvre bell tower, connected to a nave in Greek cross covered with arch vaults and in cradle. The apse is prolonged by a sacristy. The building, located Place des Frères-Bertin, was listed as a historic monument on June 1, 2011 for its entirety.

The church's furniture includes notable elements recorded between 1961 and 1998, including 18th-century paintings (such as Frédéric Barberousse in Canossa or Saint Dominique), a wooden master altar from the Cistercian Abbey of Bellevaux, and liturgical objects such as an early 18th-century vermeil chalice and a reliquary of 1689. These pieces bear witness to the artistic and religious heritage of the region, especially linked to the local goldsmith's (Besançon, Vesoul).

The church is an example of late 18th-century religious architecture in Franche-Comté, marked by classical influences and rich furniture heritage. His post-Revolutionary acquisition of elements from Bellevaux Abbey illustrates the transfer of ecclesiastical goods after 1789. Today, it remains an active place of worship and a historic landmark for the town of Noidans-les-Vesoul, near Vesoul.

A stop on line 5 of the Moova transport services the site, facilitating its access. The location of the church, between the Place des Frères-Bertin and Rue Joseph Henry, is documented in the Mérimée bases and by local sources such as Clochers de France or the Observatoire du Patrimoine Religiouse.
