Château de la Ville Olivier, 18th century. Located on the ancient Gallo-Roman road of La Chasteté, the château is protected by a wrought-iron gate surmounted by a marquis's coronet. The property, like that of La Sécardais, once belonged to the Marquisate of Bordage, in Ercé-près-Liffré. The gate is connected to granite posts surmounted by two lions and opens onto formal French gardens. Château de la Ville-Olivier is now a privately owned rental property.

The Place du Marchix is located in the city's oldest district. The square takes its name from the Old French word "marchié," as Fougères's first market once took place here. The district is characterized by well-preserved half-timbered houses dating back to the 16th century, many of which are listed as historical monuments. The square was once a center for artisanal businesses such as tanneries and cloth manufacturers, which used the nearby river to process leather and fabrics.

The Jardin Public is centrally located in the city and extends over several terraces offering sweeping views of the old town and the Château de Fougères. Created in 1865, the park combines features of an English landscape garden, French garden architecture, and botanical design.

The Église Saint-Léonard was built in the 12th century and acquired its present form in the flamboyant Gothic style in the 15th and 16th centuries. During the French Revolution, the church was deprived of its sacred function, but in the 19th century, under architects such as Aristide Tourneux, it underwent extensive renovations, including a new main façade with a large rose window. Inside, 19th-century stained-glass windows depicting episodes from the life of Saint Léonard can be seen.

The Lavoir du Nançon washhouse, located below the château, features two fireplaces where laundry was heated in large cauldrons to produce the lye needed for the washing process. The building remained in use until the early modern period.
