Pretty little church from the 13th century, enlarged in the 15th century by the Stuarts who stayed in Aubigny. The interior is very well maintained.

Aubigny sur Nère is known for having been a Scottish enclave in France for a long time and inevitably shows traces of this time. These are present on almost every corner in the small town. The ambience opposite the old Stuart Castle is also intended to remind people of the Scottish past. A pretty little tourist attraction, perfect for souvenir photos.

A barn with typical Pays-Fort architecture was reassembled here so it could be opened to visitors (it's the only one where you can enter freely). The all-wood frame is impressive. A whole collection of agricultural equipment is also on display.

Castle built during the Renaissance by Robert Stuart then Louise de Keroualle, Duchess of Aubigny and Porsmouth. Only the facade and one of the two wings exist today. It is one of the major witnesses to the historical presence of the Scots in this city of character. It can be visited and is worth a look, notably with the ceiling of its large room which is all made of wood, shaped like the hull of an upside-down boat. Good to know: Franco-Scottish festivals take place every year in July.

Pleasant little pond with children's games and picnic tables. Perfect for taking a break after a stroll along the Notre Heure River and exploring its old mills.

In the distance, along the road, appear the outbuildings of the Petit Château d'Autry-le-Châtel, a charming 15th century building where the Marquise de Sévigné stayed on several occasions because it belonged to one of her cousins. She mentions it in some of her letters. The castle itself is located in the courtyard, once you have passed these buildings and overlooks Notre Heure.

Relatively rustic Romanesque church which also had a priory of which nothing remains. There is a beautiful gilded wood altarpiece from the 17th century, probably coming from the old Loroy abbey, which was classified on the list of Historic Monuments in 1931.
