- Sondages salins de la valley of Roanne(also on commune of Varangéville) in Lenoncourt. Founded in 1855, the company Daguin had five groups of soundings in the valleys of Meurthe and Roanne. Boreholes are sheltered by well-structured pyramidal structures or in agglomerated crassier buildings with a two-sided roof. These saline soundings constitute an exceptional vestige of a mode of exploitation which had its full extension from the 1880s to the Second World War and have been registered with the historical monuments since 1986. The soundings were closed in 1967.
- Church with a tower and nave 18th century, choir 15th century.
