Built on a granite outcrop, the Virgin of Onlay overlooks the village and offers a beautiful panorama of the valley. This statue, dating from 1900 and once a place of procession, remains an iconic landmark of the Morvan region.

The village is home to a very beautiful castle dating from the 14th century, belonging by inheritance or sale to many private families. The writer Jules Renard (1864-1910) lived his entire childhood in the village. He was mayor of the village from 1904 until his death. He is buried in the village cemetery.
