Perched at the top of the village, the church of Marcourt catches the eye from afar. This 11th-century oratory was enlarged in the 14th and 17th centuries.
This jewel of medieval architecture surprises by the quantity and quality of its furniture: an impressive organ buffet, a very rare astrobal clock, its important funerary heritage and the Descente de Croix de Rubens.
Former collegiate church of the hall church type and of flamboyant Gothic style, largely modified in the 16th century and then more slightly in the 19th century. The plan and architecture are simple but the building is bathed in light through the large stained glass windows of Charles Lorin's studio (1930s)

It was the first church built in Joinville and this during the XIIth century. The nave and the aisles date back to this period. The church was modied during the XIXth century: the original bell tower was removed and another bell tower was erected above the original porch. Today we enter the church through a remarkable Renaissance portal nanced by the House of Guise. St Joseph’s belt, which was brought by Jean de Joinville returning from the Seventh Crusade is exposed in the church.
The village of Koeur-la- petite housed an important fortified castle; the King of France Louis XIII had notably installed his headquarters there during the siege of Saint-Mihiel in 1635. The stones of this castle were used to build the Saint-Remi church in 1770.
