The castle ruins are quite large. Only the advanced structures of the important 13th-century castle remain today. The keep itself was destroyed in the 15th century.

Colomban of Luxeuil, also known as Saint Colomban, was an Irish monk who evangelized the rural populations of Gaul, Germany, Helvetia and Italy in the Middle Ages. In the life of Saint Colomban, written around 640, the monk Jonas of Bobbio indicates that Colomban and his companions were welcomed by the family of Authaire, an aristocrat at the court of Austrasia. The domus where this servant of Théodebert (or Thibert), king of Austrasia and friend of Colomban, resided, is said to be located in the commune of Ussy-sur-Marne. In the church, a 19th-century stained glass window reminds us of this meeting. The church is listed as a Historic Monument for its nave dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, as well as for the stained glass windows of its chapel of the Virgin dating from the 16th century.
