Culture and History
The Château de Thaon was built in construction campaigns in 1624 and 1732. It is partly listed as a historic monument; the protection of 27 July 1978 covered the façades and roofs, the staircase with its wrought-iron railing, as well as the small salon with its Louis XV furnishings on the first floor.
The Vieille église Saint-Pierre de Thaon is a Norman Romanesque religious building from the 11th to 12th century and is among the first historic monuments to have been classified in 1840.
In the 1970s, the Moulin du Vivier was known by the name “Mine à Poivre”.
