Listed as a Historic Monument, the Notre-Dame church is a very interesting building that expresses some very characteristic features of the architecture of the Norman School, particularly in the Gothic choir attributed to the 13th century. The bell tower-porch has a late 15th century portal with an ogival arcade that frames an openwork tympanum. Above the portal is built a flamboyant style rose window. The nave, flanked by two side aisles, was built in the 13th century, but was extensively remodeled in the 16th and 17th centuries. It has an interior elevation on 3 levels. All that remains of the primitive Romanesque church is the base of the old lantern tower. Visible only from the outside, it is located at the crossing of the transept. The church has some singularities: -The sepulchre dating from the 15th century, representing Christ stretched out on a shroud, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, Saint John the Evangelist, the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene. -The stained glass windows are attributed for the most part to Édouard Didron, a great Parisian master glassmaker.

At a recent city council meeting, the city decided to rename this park Michel Lejeune after the former mayor of Forges who died two years ago. Michel Lejeune particularly liked this place, which was long called Mondory, after a 17th century theater actor.

The war memorial of François POMPON, the famous animal sculptor (born in Saulieu 1855-1933) represents a Latin cross and a Gallic rooster with open wings, elements sculpted from the same Burgundy stone. It is this monument that will save him from poverty and that will allow him in 1922 to create his polar bear and to be able to live from his sculpture. He had come to Cuy-Saint-Fiacre because he worked as a practitioner for René de Saint-Marceaux, after having been that of Rodin, of Camille Claudel. The monument is classified as a historical monument in 2022 and labeled as a rural heritage of departmental interest.
