Ligny-le-Châtel - Lavoir

A Merovingian necropolis, containing 173 tombs, was discovered and excavated around 2000. It was located near a convent, dependent of the monastery Saint-Michel de Tonnerre, known since 814. The monastery here got completely destroyed during the Hundred Years War.

Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul is the parish church of Ligny-le-Châtel. There is a contrast between the nave and the choir, from the point of view of style and construction dates.

Opposite the church is the former lavoir, the public place set aside for the washing of clothes. The water flows in from the nearby Serein riverlet.
