The Ermitage Saint-Gerbold features information panels in the outdoor area that are permanently accessible. They explain its history and architecture, as well as the legend of Saint Gerbold and the life of the hermits. The chapel of the Ermitage Saint-Gerbold was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries and converted into a hermitage in the 17th century, around 1620. A limestone statue of Saint Gerbold associated with the hermitage, dating from the second half of the 15th century, was found in several pieces beneath the flooring in 2002. The Ermitage Saint-Gerbold in Gratot is one of the few hermitages still preserved in France.
The outdoor area of the Ermitage Saint-Gerbold is open to visitors year-round; the interior can be visited on request.
The Église Notre-Dame and the cemetery in Gratot have been fully listed as a monument historique ensemble since 18 August 1949. In the Église Notre-Dame, the triumphal arch at the entrance to the choir features a carved, polychrome-painted ensemble made of oak wood depicting Christ crucified.
