Abbey built between 1150 and 1220 which welcomed Cistercian monks. It was one of the largest and most beautiful in the region because it had the support of many local lords. History, however, did not do it any favors and it suffered plague, famine, wars including that of the Hundred Years and numerous pillagings until the 16th century. The monastery then came under commendation (temporary administration and perception of the abbey's profits by a person who had no obligation to manage the abbey), which did not improve its situation, then new looting and fires took place at the time. during the 16th and 17th centuries. During the 18th century, a new cloister and then a new monastic palace were built but the Revolution passed through and the abbey saw its last hour sounded. Today only remains of the 15th century cloister, a wall of the church transept, the doorman's accommodation and some buildings of the convent which were transformed into a farm.

Church built in 1706 which was then rebuilt and enlarged over several periods until 1859. From a distance, you can see its beautiful roof made of glazed tiles of several colors.

This bridge marks the entry into the town of Ormoy. It spans the Saône and its canal. The bridge deck rests on three cut stone arches and was built in 1844. It offers a lovely view of the two rivers. We can clearly see the difference in level between the Saône and the canal. The boats only circulate on the canal which was also built with the aim of making the Saône navigable.
