The church of Lacrost is situated at an elevated position in the centre of the village and is designed in the Burgundian Romanesque style. Inside, it houses the statue of “Notre Dame de Grâce”.
Traces of local craft traditions can also be found elsewhere: quarry workers, stonemasons and members of the Compagnons du Devoir left their emblems on houses and tombstones in Lacrost.

The basin of the washhouse is covered by a stone vault. The polished edges of the basin are made of pink stone; each stone forming the rim is carved according to the so-called “en cadettes” system.
