Église Saint-Pierre et Saint-Sébastien: According to the features of the western portal, the nave's central nave dates from the second half of the 12th century. The choir was built around 1200 and the two chapels on either side of it date from the 13th century. In 1526 (date given to the choir) the two buttresses of the apse were rebuilt. An inscription relating to the priest Jean Denys, the noble judge Warnesson and two contractors Pierre Dervin and Henri Moreau reported that the bell tower had been rebuilt (probably around 1733, date of the old bell). It burned down in 1863 and was still not restored in 1874. The aisles were rebuilt in the 18th century after the construction of the bell tower, as they surrounded it without a masonry connection, filling in the high bays of the central nave. It was probably during this work campaign that the nave was vaulted. The two chapels that frame the nave were built in the 19th century, the one on the south in 1847. In the Middle Ages, the Abbess of Saint-Pierre de Reims was lord of Vaux-Montreuil.

Vaux-Montreuil has a rich history, dating back to Roman times. There are still some remains of an ancient city, Glanum, which was founded by the Gauls and later conquered by the Romans. One of the sights is the Arc de triomphe de Glanum, a triumphal arch from the 1st century AD, which was built in honor of the imperial family. Vaux-Montreuil also has a cultural heritage, linked to local traditions and legends. One of the best known is that of the Macralles, the witches of Vielsalm, who organize a big festival every year in the neighboring village. The Macralles are women who dress up as witches and play all kinds of pranks on the spectators. They also tell stories about their adventures and their battles against the devil. Vaux-Montreuil is a quiet and charming place, where you can enjoy nature and the rural atmosphere. You can walk, cycle, fish or taste the local gastronomy. One of the specialties is the Frigolet liqueur, made from local herbs, produced in the Saint-Michel de Frigolet Abbey, about 40 km from Vaux-Montreuil.

The Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours de Neuvizy is a Catholic basilica located in the village of Neuvizy. A pilgrimage is organized in the church and on the Marial road on the outskirts of the village in May and on August 15, which has earned Neuvizy the nickname “Le Lourdes Ardennais”. Pope John Paul II decided to elevate it to a basilica in 2002. The history of this basilica began on April 30, 1752, when eight children attending catechism in Villers-le-Tourneur discovered a statuette of the Blessed Virgin, surrounded by a halo of light, near a small fountain on an oak tree in the woods from Neuvizy. They knelt down and recited the Salve Regina, the Souvenez-vous and many prayers and other songs. In 1818, a cross was erected in the forest, in the presence of Charles Poit, the last survivor of the event. At that time, the church of the village was just a simple and small structure, but after the multiplication of phenomena, pilgrims came in more and more numbers to pray before the miraculous statue placed inside the modest chapel of the village. So a bigger church had to be built. Under the impetus of the parish priest at the time, Canon Nicolas Valentin, the foundation stone for a new church was laid on May 4, 1865, in the presence of 10,000 pilgrims. This priest supervised the construction of the new sanctuary and was also the assistant architect, carpenter, painter and main sculptor. On the outside, a marble indicates that this canon rests under the trumeau of the church. Most of this religious monument was completed in late 1876.
