In a forest clearing on the eastern edge of town, near the main road towards Estavayer-le-Lac, is the Clendy Alignement, a prehistoric stone avenue. It consists of 45 menhirs and statue menhirs and is the most impressive megalithic complex in Switzerland. The stones were discovered in 1878 as a result of the Jura water correction with lowering of the lake water level, erected in 1975 and in 1986 the system was restored.
