The historic Romanesque parish church of the municipality of Ameugny. The first documented mention dates from the year 1050, with the Romanesque west portal visible today having been built in the 12th century. A typically Burgundian hall church with three bays and a pointed barrel vault, which appears very massive and is covered with lava stones. The tympanum above the portal shows a cross in a circle and bears the rare signature of the sculptor Seguin. The church has been a listed historic monument since October 22, 1913.

The ruins of the church of Saint-Hippolyte are located in the commune of Bonnay-Saint-Ythaire. The Romanesque church was built in the 11th century by the monks of the Abbey of Cluny. Fortification: In the 13th century (around 1214), the building was converted into a fortified church at the request of the monks to offer better protection. In the process, the church was partially transformed into a keep (Donjon). The building was severely damaged in the 15th and 16th centuries, and the nave of the church finally collapsed in the 18th century. Since 1913, the site has been a listed Monument historique.
