Culture and history

The present-day Notre-Dame de la Fosse church dates from the 19th century. It preserves former choir stalls whose carved panels adorn the side altars. A bell tower built in 1761 stands about 50 metres from Notre-Dame de la Fosse.

Another historic landmark is the Hôtel des Princes. It is a remnant of medieval houses built in the 16th century; its half-timbered façade preserves three superimposed awnings.
