Tanya's hermitage
Notre-Dame de Tanya is a small church which stands to the north of the city. It was before the sanctuary of a hermitage. Today it has become a secondary church but is still used occasionally for worship.
The Pave mill
A former mill used for making flour. It was supplied with water by the city canal. In all, 5 mills enabled local residents to grind their cereals in the region. Renovated in 2006, it now belongs to the municipality.

The Saint Félix Church is integrated into the castle. Formerly a weapons hall, the building became the town's parish church. Overlooking Place de la République, the church is made up of two bell towers.
Place de la République
