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 origins of the hilltop castle date back to the 9th and 10th centuries. It is considered an outstanding example of the evolution of military architecture from the High Middle Ages (Carolingian period) to the Wars of Religion in the 16th century, during which it was looted and partially destroyed. Highlights include the ruins of the monumental manor hall from the year 1000 (Logis de l'An Mil) as well as the over 20-meter-high keep (Donjon), which offers a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view over the Grosne valley and the surrounding Burgundian vineyards.
