The Halle aux Fromages labeled Heritage of Regional Interest in 2019! Built in 1887, the Halle aux Fromages was the place for the exchange and sale of Brie cheeses. Its structure is made of cast iron, modeled on the Halles de Paris. It is the work of the architect Jules Chevallier. The Cheese Hall therefore testifies to the historical and commercial character of the city, whose economy in the 19th century was based mainly on cheese production.

Built between the 12th and 15th centuries, the Commanderie des Templiers constitutes the best preserved Templar ensemble north of the Loire. The Templar and then Hospitaller Commandery experienced eight centuries of incessant human occupation. The current buildings, remodeled over the centuries, are arranged around a large rectangular courtyard where the tithe barn, the dovecote, the commander's dwelling and the Sainte Anne chapel, decorated with 13th century murals, are located. Listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments in 1932 and classified as a Historic Monument in 1994 due to its rarity, it is today the subject of much attention. There is also a medieval garden designed in 1993 in collaboration with the Yves Rocher Foundation. This 4000m² space is organized around four themed squares including vegetable garden, bouquet flowers, medicinal and technical plants.

The hamlet of Theil is as old as the town of Coulommiers, it is characterized by the concentration of Briarde houses that can be seen there. The wash house located on this small square has been restored. It is no longer used now, but before the 19th century, laundry was done there once a year, after the Easter holidays. In the 19th century, it was done there in spring and autumn. From the 20th century, it was forbidden to wash during Holy Week, during the three days before Ascension, All Souls' Day and Friday.

In wealthy families, large laundry loads could include 70 sheets, as many shirts, dozens of tea towels and handkerchiefs. These families called on professionals: washerwomen.
