Attractions

The nave of the parish church of Saint-Martin probably dates from the 11th century. Two engraved dates in a niche and on a door (1546 and 1559) suggest ombuds in the 16th century. The bell tower also seems to come from this period.

There are two old iron foundries in Dommartin. They have been turned into a “metallurgy park” and, together with an old blacksmith's shop, have been turned into an arts and crafts center ( Fonderie d'art ). A 19th century blast furnace is shown, the equipment of which (paddle wheel, fan) is kept in working order.
