Aubusson boasts several noteworthy buildings from the Middle Ages and more recent times. These include the clock tower from 1579, part of the town's fortifications. Aubusson also has museums dedicated to the production of tapestries and the Jean Lurçat Cultural Centre.

This old watchtower was integrated into the city's fortifications. Also called the "white tower", it is the last vestige of the enclosure that surrounded Aubusson. It was used to monitor movements in the city. On the facade of the tower, three dials facing the city indicate the time. It is easily recognizable with its pepperpot roof covered in chestnut shingles. It is decorated with a bell decorated with three small bas-reliefs: a mitred bishop.

This bridge is emblematic of Aubusson. Originally made of wood, it was essential for commercial exchanges on the road from Limoges to Clermont-Ferrand. It was rebuilt with stones from the castle (itself dismantled on the orders of Rochelieu). There remains a castle (from the 15th century) on the left bank, which formerly housed the archers in charge of the defense of the building.

This town, whose history dates back to the 5th century, is full of legends and anecdotes. Thus, during the Hundred Years' War, the inhabitants decided not to fight the English but to receive them equipped with tools topped with goat's horns. The beautiful Chevanne house houses the aviation museum dedicated to Creuse aviators.

Be careful if you have to go visit the museum, call before, they can close to the public without warning on the site.

The Pont de la Terrade in Aubusson was until the 18th century, the only crossing point of the Creuse on the main road leading to Limoges. This passage was gradually abandoned in favor of the later, larger Récollets bridge. Thus the Terrade bridge remains today in a remarkable state of conservation. It has undergone very few modifications related to the development of modern transport. Originally made of wood, it is deployed across the river from a stone pile. Natural rot, bad weather and the importance of the Creuse wines, the bridge became dangerous due to its dilapidated state despite various repairs from the middle of the 16th century. The need for reconstruction is felt. It was replaced by a stone bridge built between 1638 and 1641 with materials from the ruins of the old medieval castle of the first Viscounts of Aubusson, the Chapter. This Huguenot defensive stronghold was destroyed on the orders of Richelieu in 1632. The Pont de la Terrade, property of the town, was listed in the inventory of historical monuments on June 15, 1926. Carefully restored in 2009, this building preserved charm illustrates the typicality of the architecture of Aubusson.
