Located between Chavannes-le-Chêne and Chêne-Pâquier, this old mill was used to grind wheat grains during the Middle Ages. It was then converted into a dwelling before being abandoned. In 2016, an association worked on its restoration in order to highlight this place full of history.

The menhirs of Clendy are over 6000 years old and are the most important Neolithic site in Switzerland. The place was a meeting place and the statue menhirs were worshipped here.

Tour de la Molière. This imposing square keep from the 12th century is the only surviving remnant of the former castle of La Molière, which was destroyed in the 16th century. There is an old quarry adjacent to a well-developed picnic area. https://tourdelamoliere.ch/
