The Abbey Church of Saint-Philibert in Tournus is one of the most important examples of early Romanesque architecture in Central Europe. The mighty west facade, with its embrasures and massive walls, is reminiscent of a medieval fortress. The nave features unique, transversely running barrel vaults, which create an extraordinary play of light inside. An ancient crypt lies beneath the choir, while the upper church, dedicated to Saint Michael, is located above the narthex.

The municipality has a total of five historic washhouses from the 19th century. They have been lovingly restored by an association of volunteers and reflect the rural cultural history of the region. The structure is made of characteristic local natural stone. In the 19th century, such washhouses not only served for cleaning laundry but were also a central social meeting point for the village community.

The striking Romanesque structure dates from the 12th century. The church towers protectively over the valley and houses valuable wall paintings from the late 13th century.
