Former stronghold of the Counts of Valois, the fortified castle was built around 1390 by Jean de Sépoix, advisor to King Charles V, on the site of an old fortified house. Currently only the square keep remains. The house was burned down during the Fronde.

Founded in the 12th century, this former abbey was sold as national property during the Revolution. A long phase of gradual renovation then began. Since 1964, an association has been working on its restoration and organizing volunteer projects. In 2020 and 2021, the Restored Place will host the Mad Jacques "high country refuge" for cyclists during the summer, the equivalent of a high mountain refuge, but in the countryside.
