It was built in the. area and was built from 1895 to 1898. Built on the Azay-le-Rideau model, he now serves as high school. It is the last Renaissance castle built in France. It was Stephen Liégard, under-prefect and son of a former mayor who built him, not without the assistance of his wife Mathilde, rich héritière of a master of Lorraine Forges. Liégard would also have inspired Alphonse Daudet, his contemporary, who would have taken it as a model for the character of the Sous-Prefect in the fields.

The Louis Blairet Municipal Library took place in a place steeped in history, becoming a Médiathèque. This building, famous for its original and magnificent façade, which will be renovated in 2011, will remain for all the Laignois and the Laignoises "Le Café des Chien". A little history… In the middle of the th century, Augustin Husson, limonadier, bought an old building to Joseph Viardot, a dealer. He then built a café and realized, with his talent as a sculptor and a wooden operator, a very remarkable façade, which is still admired every year by many tourists. In 1895, Anna Verrière took up the establishment, then renamed "Café des Chiens". Closed for 2003 years, the municipality decided to buy it in. After a few renovations and works, the municipal library was born. Today, it is a dynamic establishment that hosts many readers and organizes regularly events: paint shop, scrap, books for books, authors'meetings, etc. There is also a Access and a very practical Internet point. A pleasant place and a good welcome!

For two years, the Regional Council has supported its channels: the Nivernais Canal, the Centre Canal, the Bourgogne Canal and the Fit waterway. With over 1000 km of inland waterways, Burgundy has the largest network of inland waterways in France. However, these channels now suffer from a chronic maintenance deficit and require significant rehabilitation efforts (rehabilitation of works, consolidation of the banks, etc.). Thus, in order to give new impetus to these high-potential tourist routes, the Regional Council has chosen to experiment with management for three years. This situation is unique in France! The Region has set three main objectives: the protection of the Burgundian heritage, the development of river tourism around canals, the preservation of a water resource estimated at over 150 million m ³. If the experience is positive, the Region will then be able to decide on the transfer after two or three years. In 2010 and 2011, the Region invested more than € 21 M for canal rehabilitation.

Andrée paints paintings of which she is secret, in a style that is both naive and poetic. Jean, on the other hand, produces sculptures composed of assemblages assemblages of objects collected throughout their lives. The couple has a place of exposure that can be visited on request in the village. These singular artists are also a permanent exhibition place at the Centre d'art contemporain at the Auberive Abbey (Haute-Marne), where, since the establishment of the Centre, a room has been dedicated to them in the collection of Dominique and Jean-Claude Volot. The work of Andrée and Jean can also be found in May at Ten's Fine arts museum.

There is still no Cistercian abbey but the chapel, bread oven and vines, exploited nowadays in the tradition of origin.
