The Château de Dommartin-sur-Vraine preserves the remains of an early 15th century stronghold, built on a square plan with four round corner towers and later converted into a farm in the 19th century. Visitors can see the well preserved south-east front, including the gateway and surviving sections of the lord's residence, along with a medieval barn. Next to the site stands the church of Saint-Martin, built on the former site of the castle's chapel.
