History and culture

A significant construction phase of the Château de l'Epervière dates back to 1788. Since 23 July 1976, the Château de l'Epervière has been partially protected as a French historic monument.

In the town centre, the choir and thirteen metres of the nave of the former church have been preserved. The bell tower of the former church was rebuilt in the style of the 14th century; the preserved parts can be visited.

The new church in L'Épervière was built in 1863 and is dedicated to Saint Pancras. The parish of Gigny is documented as early as 1115 under the patronage of Saint Pancras.
