Saint-Jean Church of Bar-le-Duc
Highlight • Religious Site
From the mid-19th century, the parish of Notre-Dame had an “annex” in the Brasseries district. The idea of transforming it into a church came about in 1869. The following year, the project was entrusted to the architect Charles Demoget. The result, a neo-Gothic building, was controversial, and Demoget was removed from the task, leaving his place to Ernest Birglin, who designed a new building in the neo-Byzantine style. But it was only in 1875, after the creation of a fourth parish under the name of Saint-Jean, that the construction of the church began. The first phase of the work lasted until 1880, but only the apse, choir, and transept were erected. In 1933, the architect Royer opened the second phase of work, with the construction of the nave which lasted until 1939. However, the facade remained partially unfinished.

Villey-le-Sec Dam
Highlight • Monument
Construction of the hydroelectric power plant began in May 1986. It is attached to the dam. As the name suggests, the structure is used to generate electricity by taking advantage of the waterfall caused by the dam. The power plant does not operate during periods of high or low water. It is managed by EDF. [villeylesec.fr/L-ecluse-et-le-barrage?lang=fr]
