The early church of Greux was built into the hillside like the old village. Its rectangular site is behind the group of three statues facing the village today: the Virgin Mary, Saint Margaret and Saint Joan of Arc.
The church of Saint Maurice was rebuilt in 1733, when Jean Jacob had been parish priest of Greux for over forty years. His tombstone states that he built the church with his own money. However, the local inhabitants contributed to the work. Farmers volunteered to carry all the materials, and other residents contributed workdays as laborers or masons, according to their abilities.
The date of the church's reconstruction is inscribed on the richly decorated portal.
Inside the church, there are 2 stained-glass windows: one depicting Joan of Arc praying in Bermont, the other Joan of Arc listening to her voices.
The baptismal font is original, dating from 1773. It is assumed that a large number of children were baptized in this church.
