The Château de l'Estriverie is an imposing historic residence dating back to the 13th century. Initially a fortified house surrounded by a moat, the current castle was rebuilt in 1630 by the Cottrel family. It is built of brick, limestone and sandstone, with slate roofs and a main courtyard accessible by a stone bridge. Classified as a historic monument in 1976, the site retains its turrets and outbuildings, as well as a chapel dedicated to Saint-Joseph. Today, the castle is still inhabited by the family of Yve de Bavay.
