Culture and History
The original Saint-Honoré Church dates back to the 1170s. Most of the building was constructed in the late 15th century and the first quarter of the 16th century. As a whole, the church was classified as a historic monument by decree of 14 November 2005.
Today, only the foundations of Château Henri IV remain. The plans for Château Royal Henri IV were designed in the 1550s by Jacques Ier Androuet du Cerceau for Philippe IV de Boulainvilliers. Due to the risk of falling stones, access to Château Royal Henri IV is prohibited to the public by municipal order.
The Manoir Salomon de Brosse and its park are located on Rue Salomon-de-Brosse in the hamlet of Mont-la-Ville. The manor is considered a rare example of Renaissance architecture in a rural setting.
The Gallo-Roman remains of the Villa de Bufosse are located on the grounds of the Gérard LEVEL sports complex. Villa Bufosse was operated from the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD and offers insights into daily life on an agricultural estate during the Roman Empire.
