Overlooking the Bourbince valley, the Château de Croix stands in Génelard on the site of a vanished medieval stronghold. The present building, made of yellow stone under a slate roof, dates from the 18th century, with a central block flanked by two wings and a pedimented projecting section. Around the courtyard, a polygonal dovecote and a round tower in the park can still be seen. The estate remains in private hands and is not open to visitors.
