Saint-Didier church was rebuilt in 1765 on the site of the old church, which had become too dilapidated to meet the needs of the time, according to the plans and specifications of the famous architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux.
Placed under the protection of Saint Didier, the bishop of Langres martyred by the Germans around 335, Roche church was already a parish church in the 12th century.
François Urbain Chaillou, architect for the Paris Maîtrise, took delivery of the work in early 1769.
Restored in 1872, Roche church houses three bells in its Comtois bell tower with glazed tiles:
- one dates from 1860 and bears the inscription "je divulgue le sort aujourd'hui pour la vie et demain pour la mort" ("I divulge fate today for life and tomorrow for death").
- The 2nd dates from 1876.
- The 3rd was installed on 2 September 1956 by Abbé Moussard, the last resident priest in Roche.
Disused since 1867, the cemetery surrounding the church now houses only the tomb of the Millerand family, ancestors of Alexandre, President of the Republic from 1920 to 1924.
