- Branféré Park and Castle: The current castle was built in 1815. Since 1965, the castle park has been transformed into an internationally renowned zoological garden by the owners at the time.
- Parish Church of Saint Jean Baptiste: The parish church was built in 1570 in place of an older church, probably built by the Knights Templar . Parts of the previous building are still preserved in today's church. Noteworthy is the outer pulpit on the south wall, which was built to cope with the onslaught of pilgrims.
