Eglise Saint Nicolas de Belval

According to the date on the back of a painting in the choir, the Saint-Nicolas church was inaugurated in 1831.
The Saint-Nicolas church is located in the centre of the village and is west-facing. It has an elongated plan. The three-aisled nave with four bays is preceded by a western block composed of an entrance vestibule, surmounted by the organ gallery supported by two cast iron columns and the timbered bell tower, framed by the spiral staircase and the confessional chapel on the left and by a storage room and the baptismal font chapel on the right. The choir consists of a straight bay and a semicircular apse with a polygonal volume against which the sacristy is built. The building is built of small and medium-sized stone. The interior walls are rendered and the floor is paved with a checkerboard of black and grey marble. The building has only one level pierced with semicircular bays. The three naves of the nave are separated by Ionic columns: the central nave is covered with a full-arched barrel vault, the side aisles with ceilings and the apse with a cul-de-four. All the roofs of the building are made of slate. The nave and the choir are covered by a long-span roof, the apse by a polygonal hip, the sacristy by a long-span and hip roof and the bell tower by an imperial roof topped by a polygonal spire.
