The historic Romanesque parish church of the municipality of Ameugny. The first documented mention dates from the year 1050, with the Romanesque west portal visible today having been built in the 12th century. A typically Burgundian hall church with three bays and a pointed barrel vault, which appears very massive and is covered with lava stones. The tympanum above the portal shows a cross in a circle and bears the rare signature of the sculptor Seguin. The church has been a listed historic monument since October 22, 1913.

Very beautiful castle. Feel free to visit the monks' chapel of Berzé la ville, with very beautiful paintings from the abbey of Cluny

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.

In the Middle Ages, the abbey was one of the most influential spiritual and cultural centers in Europe. Cluny was the mother house of the Cluniac Reform and headed a federation of over 1,200 monasteries. The third abbey church (Cluny was the largest church in the Christian world until the construction of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome). Of the once-mighty complex, only parts of the southern transept remain today, as the abbey was largely used as a quarry and demolished after the French Revolution.
