The place that gives its name to the surrounding forest. An abbey founded in 1145 by monks from the Abbey of Citeaux in search of silence and isolation. Now, only a ruined section remains, visible through the foliage from the road. Note that these ruins are located on the grounds of the oldest summer camp still in operation in France.

The oldest parts of this church seem to date from the Middle Ages, but the building was greatly remodeled in the 16th century. The side chapels were added at this time, as was the opening of the large stained glass window of the choir. The steeple, restored in the 19th century, is covered with slate. Inside the church, two polychrome statues attract attention. One of the Virgin in terracotta, the other of Saint Barbara in stone, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. A wooden Christ is also worth noting. The wooden stalls date from the 18th century, as does the altarpiece of the high altar (1755). The wrought iron communion railing dating from the 18th century is still in place. Its rocaille-style ornamentation is common at this time. Until 1911, the church was surrounded by its cemetery.
