The building in the heart of the village, surrounded by a walled in cemetery and by vegetation, has a country charm. When the 1000 year anniversary of the parish was celebrated in 2012, the inside of the building was joyfully repainted. This work met the approval of the faithful and of visitors. Today the building in local stone is as new. This was absolutely necessary after the terrible destruction endured particularly during the battle of the Ardennes in 1944.
According to a 1011 charter a church already existed in Dochamps. A slab embedded in the wall recalls another destruction and a restoration in 1642 thanks to the personal skills of the two local brothers Lamornainy. Both were priests and one, William, was the confessor to Emperor Frederick II.
Inside,the stucco ceiling was restored in 1955 and the carved wood panelling is the work of Vixtor Demanet. There are also some fine wood statues including one of Christ on the Cross (18th century) and of popular saints like Roch or Anthony (19th century) as well as baptismal fonts (17th century).
