The Jouette mill was a flour mill until 1945. Before the Revolution, the population were obliged to grind their grain at the common mill belonging to the nobles and the monks, in exchange for royalties. It supplied the local bakeries before being challenged by the large flour mills of Caen after the First World War. Private, closed to the public.

Stone castle, typical architecture of the 16th century, is listed as a historical monument. A walled park with 120 hectare is connected with the castle. Inside, there is a source of mineral water.

The church was built in the centre of the village on one of the highest bridges. The nave and buttresses date from the 13th century, whilst the tower and transept chapels are probably 15th century. The church’s design and decoration are similar to those of the church in Boulon.
