The church of Saint-Nicolas in Rougemont, built by the monks of Cluny at the end of the 11th century, bears witness to the different periods that have marked its history. From the Romanesque architecture and the Bernese Reformation, the building retains a shortened transept, an enlarged apse, a single roof and an Oberland-style bell tower. During the revival of Reformed art in the early 20th century, the church was adorned with works by painters Correvon, Rivier and Delachaux. The Cluniac priory of Rougemont, founded between 1073 and 1085, comprised the church of Saint-Nicolas, which became a parish church very early on (before 1228), and its two chapels, the conventual building, a stone barn built in 1342, stables and granaries. The priory was abolished in 1555, when Bern took possession of Haute Gruyère and introduced the Reformation. In 1572, a castle, the residence of the bailiff of Gessenay, replaced the priory.

The church of Saint-Nicolas de Rougemont is open every day from 8am to 8pm. More information on the Cluniac sites page.
