The Crainseny viaduct, 246 m long, with a curve radius of 400 m, 16 arches and an opening of 12 m, is undoubtedly the most imposing structure on the South Chalonnaise Coast. The old railway line crossed it and the viaduct linked St-Gengoux to Montchanin crossing the Crainseny valley until 1969. Built in 1882, its height is approximately 23 m.
