"Founded at the end of the 15th century, it is bordered by a vast watercress farm.

The most beautiful ornament is the small bas-relief in white stone: a knight is kneeling with his wife in front of the bishop, it is the couple from Frameselle who offer the church to Saint Hilaire.

15 people including 2 priests are buried in the church. It was on sale in 1795 and acquired by Benoît Derisbourg.

It was lightning that on May 11, 1967, ravaged the bell tower and the nave. The work quickly carried out, reduced the height of the roof and neglected the reconstruction of the bell tower.

The stained glass windows date from 1896. "

"Fondée à la fin du XVème, elle est bordée par une vaste cressonnière.

Le plus bel ornement est le petit bas-relief en pierre blanche : un chevalier est agenouillé avec sa femme devant l’évêque, ce sont les époux de Frameselle qui offrent l’église à Saint Hilaire.

15 personnes dont 2 prêtres sont inhumées dans l’église. Elle fut en vente en 1795 et acquise par Benoît Derisbourg.

Ce fut la foudre qui le 11 mai 1967, ravagea le clocher et la nef. Les travaux rapidement menés, réduisirent la hauteur du toit et négligèrent la reconstruction du clocher.

Les vitraux datent de 1896."
