The former seigneurial farm (Ferme de Logis) was built in the 17th century. A pigeon house , the western gable roof of the barn and stone wells, which were entered in the supplementary directory of Monuments historiques in 1965, have been preserved from that time . The farm is privately owned. The manor house was built in the 16th century. However, only one barn has survived from that time. The house was destroyed in the course of the French Revolution in 1794 and rebuilt in the 19th century. The Saint-Adrien chapel from the 17th century originally stood on the property . It has not been preserved.
The war memorial on the Mairie was designed in 1952 by Hubert Yencesse (1900–1987), the son of the engraver Ovide Yencesse (1869–1947). The focus of the war memorial is the sculpture of a kneeling woman. The linden trees on the Mairie are officially classified as Site Inscrit ('natural monument').
The parish church of Saint-Laurent was built in the 14th century. The nave from that time has been preserved. The bell tower dates from the 15th, the choir from the 16th century. The sacristy was built in the 19th century. In the Ancien Régime the seigneur was a patron of the church .

The Saint-Ouen church was built in the 13th century. Its choir and bell tower were entered in the supplementary directory of the Monuments historiques in 1961. Only the bell tower dates back to the 13th century, the choir from the 16th century was made of limestone from the Senonium ( pierre de Caumont built) on the foundation of an older church. In 1982 restoration work was carried out to reduce the damage caused by acidic exhaust gases from the local industry. The choir has eight ogival windows, one of which has been walled up. On the outside wall of the church you can still see traces of a liter funéraire ('mourning ribbon') with the Le Roux coat of arms. It dates from either 1672 or 1712. The yew trees in the church cemetery are officially classified as site classé .

In 1703 a new chapel was built. The priory was dissolved during the French Revolution. The house was rebuilt in 1858.
