The parish church of Saint-Amé and Saint-Blaise was rebuilt on a project by Abbé Balland, with the financial support of Emperor Napoleon III, from 1857 to 1860, replacing the first church of the 18th century, considered dilapidated and too cramped from 1849. That same year, the municipality asked the architect Grillot for a quote. In 1852 the factory council asked the prefect for permission to organize a lottery to fund the work, it was to take place in 1856, along with a subscription. Despite the fierce opposition, in 1857, from the inhabitants of the district of the church, who found the rebuilding of the church expensive, the municipality counted on the emperor, who decided to build a new building on the path of Saint-Loup.

When you arrive in Luxeuil-les-Bains, it is impossible to pass by the Tour des Échevins without noticing it! Emblematic monument of the city, the tower impresses with its height and its Gothic architecture with its gargoyles, its oriel, its decorations, it is the star of souvenir photographs of Luxeuil-les-Bains. Do not hesitate to push open the door of his museum which is on the side of the building, in the small rue de la Tour. The museum brings together very beautiful vestiges of the Luxovian past: Gallo-Roman stelae, Etruscan statuettes, or even the testimony of the presence of a potters' oven.
