History
The dovecote located outside the curtain walls of the Château de Beaufremont was built in 1607 and converted into the Chapelle Saint-Joseph in 1870.
Beaufremont is home to the parish church of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul. It was built in the 15th century; the choir and the southern chapel have survived. The door of this southern chapel was fitted into the eastern wall in 1617, and the date is displayed on the arch. The bell tower was rebuilt in 1850 according to plans by the architect Mathey from Neufchâteau. The church also contains a tombstone of Jean de Bauffremont, whose death is associated with the Battle of Agincourt.
