The Château d'Azay-le-Ferron, upon which the ancient commune depended, ranges from fifteenth century construction—the round tower—to eighteenth century, harmonized by the warm stone of which it is built and the blue-gray slates of its various roofs.

It is surrounded by a series of parterre gardens, some with clipped topiary, and a landscaped park.
