FR L’église Saint Michel qui domine le village de Cervières est la plus ancienne des deux églises du village. Elle fut rebâtie en 1471 sur un ancien édifice paroissial. Sa porte méridionale, en plein cintre avec colonnettes en retrait, est abritée par un auvent en bois et son clocher carré en pierre, encadré de 4 clochetons, est représentatif du style Lombard sur le modèle de la cathédrale d'Embrun.

La paroisse de Cervières, avec quelques 800 habitants au XVIII e siècle, fut l’une des plus grandes des hautes alpes avec près d’une quinzaine de chapelles rurales
