Culture

Brières-les-Scellés’ municipal cultural heritage includes two restored old wells. The former communal well in Petit-Brière has retained its manual lifting mechanism as well as the wooden structure for winding up the rope.

The Church of Saint Quentin features structural elements from the 11th, 12th and 15th centuries. It is closed and can only be visited by prior request.

The former seigneurial manor is probably located on the site of the former seat of the Brière lordship. The surviving remains of the former château of Brières-les-Scellés include a dovecote with 1,848 niches. A large surrounding wall has also survived from this former château.
