Château de Cormatin is a magnificent moated castle from the early 17th century. The castle was built between 1606 and 1625 by the Marquises d'Huxelles. It houses the best-preserved state rooms from the time of Louis XIII in all of France. Famous are the "Gilded Rooms" (Salles Dorées) with opulent paintings, sculptures, and gilded ceilings. The extensive grounds, covering around 12 hectares, are among the most beautiful gardens in France. Highlights in the outdoor area include a large boxwood maze, an open-air baroque theatre, water features, and a historic vegetable garden.

The ruins of the church of Saint-Hippolyte are located in the commune of Bonnay-Saint-Ythaire. The Romanesque church was built in the 11th century by the monks of the Abbey of Cluny. Fortification: In the 13th century (around 1214), the building was converted into a fortified church at the request of the monks to offer better protection. In the process, the church was partially transformed into a keep (Donjon). The building was severely damaged in the 15th and 16th centuries, and the nave of the church finally collapsed in the 18th century. Since 1913, the site has been a listed Monument historique.

This small 15th-century castle, built of brick, has not undergone any restoration. In the 18th century, it still had a rectangular enclosure with four towers. Only a main residential building remains between two large square towers topped with high hipped roofs. The larger of the two towers features elegant mullioned windows. Some bays have retained medieval wrought-iron grilles.

The residence of the Marquis d'Huxelles, built between 1606 and 1625, is home to the most sumptuous Louis XIII apartment preserved in France. Fireplaces, ceilings and wood panelling were painted, carved and gilded with sumptuous exuberance for the favourite of Queen Marie de Medici. Paintings, tapestries and period furniture complete this seductive evocation of "château life" at the time of the "Three Musketeers". The tour also reveals a monumental stone staircase (20 metres high), an 18th century kitchen and the opulent 1900s salons of an opera director. The garden, in the spirit of the Baroque period, offers 12 hectares of flowerbeds, a large boxwood labyrinth with aviary-belvedere, vegetable garden, green theatre, water features and remarkable trees.
