Culture

The Église Saint-Aignan combines several clearly dated building elements: the nave and eastern apse were built in the 13th century, while the side chapels contain narrative stained-glass windows from the 16th century. The Prieuré Saint-Martin was mentioned in 1464 as a fief dependent on the king; it has a 15th-century stair tower and a residential wing rebuilt in the 18th century. The Château de Moison, referred to as a château, recalls Ivoy-le-Pré’s seigneurial past.
