The Saint-Hubert church is located in the upper part of the village, called "le mont", and was built in 1900 on the site of a very old church whose origins date back to the thirteenth century. Its sights include the tombstone of Jean d'Argenteau, Count of Esneux in the seventeenth century, two confessionals of Louis XIV, a baptismal font from the fourteenth century, a Regency choir bench and a statue of Saint Hubert in painted wood from the Del Cour school.

Saint Hubert, to whom this church is dedicated, lived from 655 to 727 and is a very popular saint, best known as the patron saint of hunters. A stag with a glowing cross between the antlers is said to have appeared to him, which is often shown in Hubertus portraits. This legend was originally attributed to Saint Eustace and over time 'migrated' to Hubertus. His memorial day in the calendar of saints is November 3rd.
