Liernais is part of the Parc naturel régional du Morvan and the ZNIEFF Vallée et bassin amont du Serein, a natural area of regional interest. The landscape there is shaped by bocage countryside, ponds, wet meadows, running waters, dry grasslands and rocks; the corresponding animal and plant species depend on these habitats.
Those choosing Liernais as a holiday destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment there.
Nature and Water
The River Suze flows through Liernais. The Étang de la Gravotière is also part of the area's abundance of water: a small cascade allows excess water to drain away. Until the 19th century, the pond served the Gravotière mill.
Architectural Heritage
A castle believed to date from the 13th century once stood in the village centre and is commonly known as the Tour forte de Liernais. Its site is less than 500 metres from a hiking trail.
The Château de Veullerot is considered a surviving château and was rebuilt around 1780. The Église Saint-Laurent is a 19th-century Neo-Gothic church built on the site of the former castle chapel. Its two bells date from the 14th and 18th centuries respectively; as objects, they are classified as Monuments historiques.
The built heritage also includes Liernais's old Impluvium washhouse, with landscaped green space and a hydraulic system consisting of a reservoir and a well. The château in Cenfosse has a structure dating from the 17th or 18th century. A semicircular tower forms a rear rotunda; there is also an orangery, outbuildings and a round dovecote dating from the 15th century.
A pretty château with corner turrets stands in a park with water features; its French gardens have not survived.
