The Église Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul de Maranville dates from the late 15th century. Its elongated floor plan comprises a barrel-vaulted nave with four bays, side aisles with cylindrical pillars, and a semicircular apse. The church also contains a 16th-century statue of a pope, which comes from Clairvaux Abbey.

Culture
The local history also includes the wood-processing factory for manufacturing billiard cues at the Château site in Maranville (Usine liée au travail du bois, Fabrique de Queues de Billard). The site borders a branch of the Aujon. The billiard-cue factory was already producing billiard cues in 1893 and ceased operations in the second half of the 20th century.
Maranville lies on the edge of the important Roman road that connected Langres with Reims (Andemantunnum–Durocortorum). In the hamlet of Irceville in the municipality of Maranville, a 64-square-metre mosaic was discovered in 1897. It depicts a fight between a wild animal and a snake.
