Originally, the village of Laubert did not have a church but a chapel, built in the 13th century by Betrand de Laubert (act of September 28, 1278). This was destroyed for unknown reasons in 1636 and rebuilt much later, in 1773.
It was from the 1780s that the inhabitants of Laubert demanded that it be established as a branch, in order to be able to celebrate mass there and no longer have to go to Allenc to attend, arguing about the dangers of snow in winter.
It was therefore in 1802 that Laubert was detached from Allenc, and a new church was built in 1825, in a neo-Romanesque style.
Built mainly in granite, it is easily recognizable by its comb bell tower.
The interior presents a very beautiful set of furniture: an Atlantean supporting the pulpit, altarpieces as well as a Christ on the cross and a Virgin in gilded wood.
