On the heights of the hamlet of Aubigny-sur-Badin stands the church of Saint-Symphorien, the only vestige of a former priory founded in the 11th century. It was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. Built in the Gothic style, Saint-Symphorien church is characterised by its Cistercian simplicity and strong Burgundian influence: six-bay nave with rib-vaulted aisles (late 12th century), choir with flat chevet (13th century), portal with three-lobed tympanum (13th century). The church contains interesting furnishings: a flamboyant-style Eucharistic cupboard, a high altar and an altarpiece. The bell tower has one of the oldest bells in the département (1562). It was listed as a Historic Monument on 21 February 1914. The cemetery, of Merovingian origin, which surrounds this building, boasts a remarkable tree, a lime tree known as the Sully lime, which is around 400 years old.
