In the High Middle Ages, it was one of the most influential religious and political centers in Western Europe. At its peak, the Cluny congregation comprised around 1,200 monasteries with over 20,000 monks across the continent. Cluny was independent of secular rulers and local bishops. It was directly subordinate to the Pope in Rome.

The church Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité in the French municipality of Malay in the department. The Romanesque parish church was first mentioned in a document in 1095. It once served as Deanery (Doyenné) of the famous Abbey of Cluny. The oldest, eastern part with the choir and transept was built at the end of the 11th century. The three-nave nave was added in the mid-12th century, followed by the construction of the striking bell tower. The historic building has been classified as a Monument historique and is state-protected since June 16, 1931.
