This door, which appears medieval, does not go unnoticed with its two towers and the battlements of its curtain wall. Make no mistake, it was built in 1928 on the initiative of Mrs. Belmont, an American national, then owner of the Augerville castle. This gate now belongs to the commune of Boulancourt.

The tanners' washhouse. The most spectacular is in a small square near the river. In the 17th century it was mainly used for drying skins because the activity of the tannery was important. After the disappearance of the tanneries it was used as a laundry until 1870.
