Culture and history
In the centre of Sarry stands Château Sainte-Colombe, a former seigneurial residence dating from the 14th century. Sarry’s present-day church dates from the 19th century, after the Romanesque church burned down. Inside is a polychrome wooden Madonna and Child from the 14th century.
Other notable buildings include Château du Magny, a 17th-century château, and Château d’Essiat, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. A listed dovecote on stilts is clearly visible from the road to Saint-Didier. The dovecote of Château du Magny on cadastral plot A 54 was listed by decree of 13 March 1995. A dovecote is built on four round pillars of hewn stone with square capitals.
Landscape
In Sarry, dry-stone walls and native hedges accompany hikers through rolling meadows, forests and sunken lanes. The circular routes of the “Randonnée de chêne bossu” lead, among other places, into the Forêt domaniale des Charmays state forest and also to an oak with an exceptional growth.
Paths and circular routes
In May, the “Randonnée de chêne bossu” offers five circular routes ranging from 3 to 25 kilometres. The “Balade du Chêne Bossu” starts and ends at Sarry church.
A signposted mountain-biking route with a local connection is also mentioned: the “La boucle des Hameaux” mountain-bike route starts and ends in Sarry. From Sarry, it runs between the Brionnais-Bocage and the Loire.
