The Église Saint-Bernard was originally a chapel dedicated to Saint Ambrosinius and became a parish church in the mid-15th century. The present-day Église Saint-Bernard was extensively remodelled between approximately 1480 and 1530. Its northern transept contains a statue of Saint Bernard, probably created by Antoine Le Moiturier.

The Maison natale de saint Bernard was remodelled in the 17th century and converted into the royal monastery of the Feuillants. After suffering severe damage during the Revolution, it was restored and remodelled in 1881; it received a large tower with a mock gatehouse, as well as a portico in front of two chapels whose furnishings date from the late Renaissance.
