Destroyed in 1477 by the troops of Louis XI, the fortified house was rebuilt in the 16th century by Étienne de Labrey. The building is now occupied by a farm. The building was listed as a historical monument in 1977. WIKIPEDIA

Castle built in 1678 on a 7 hectare park, replacing the 'castrum', the fortified house which was previously there. A "folly" at the beginning, that is to say a house with the raised ground floor and a high Comtoise roof, it was transformed in 1827-1828, taking inspiration from Venetian houses. Quite rare fact: the castle has still belonged to the same family since its construction.

Take a look at the end of this alley so as not to miss the Château de Buthiers. Following a Gallo-Roman camp then a medieval castle, it was built in the 17th and 18th centuries and is classified as a Historic Monument, as is the Chinese pavilion which is located in its gardens. The large park of the castle is called the Bocage and is part of the Buthiers nature reserve, the oldest in Franche-Comté (dating from 1982). The site unfortunately cannot be visited because it is private.

10th century chapel with a slate roof (redone in 2014). It was originally a more important building but since the 19th century, only the choir remains.

Village rich in beautiful built heritage in addition to benefiting from the proximity of Ognon. In the center, you will find the washhouse-fountain-watering trough which was restored in the 90s as well as the Saint-Germain church whose choir still dates from the 12th century.

Bellevaux Abbey was a Cistercian monastery, founded in 1120 by Pons de Morimond, near present-day Cirey, in Haute-Saône, France. At that time it was in Franche-Comté. It was removed in 1790 and sold in 1791. Shortly after, the church was demolished. 1795 the buildings were purchased by Jean-Charles Pichegru. The “castle” site, for its part, hosts events (medieval festivals, markets) in its park thanks to the dynamism of an association seeking to promote the former religious domain. The old abbey is open to visitors from time to time. Information on 06 33 80 08 12 or 03 84 94 84 98.
