The city contains the ruins of the Royal Abbey of Lys, Cistercian abbey for women, founded in 1251 by Blanche of Castile and Saint Louis. Its construction began in 1244 and ended around 1253 on a former vineyard parcel. In 1252, Blanche of Castile y made his last alms. The abbey was sacked by the revolutionaries to 1793.
