The Oiselay family had owned a fortified castle here since the 11th century. Following its destruction, this imposing U-shaped castle was rebuilt. The round tower dates from the 15th century and the courtyard façade from 1570. New work then took place on the building during the first half of the 19th century. Following a marriage linking the Oiselay family to the Granvelle family, we find icons recalling this illustrious family which notably included the Keeper of the Seals of Charles V, a cardinal and an ambassador. Currently private property, unfortunately it cannot be visited.

It is called a castle but it is indeed a mansion dating from 1714 if we refer to its pediment Listed as a Historic Monument since 1996, it cannot be visited because it is private but inside, only its staircase remains original.

Very small church and its pretty Comtois bell tower decorated with diamonds. It was built in the 16th century (Flamboyant Gothic style) then its facade was redone two centuries later.

An old oak tree beautifully located at the roundabout in a small village of Cordonnet. There are no supermarkets or cafes here, just a picturesque little hamlet with authentic houses.
