Its model plan features horseshoe-shaped farm buildings around a rectangular courtyard, opposite which stands the residential building.

Culture
The Sainte-Eugénie Church was built between 1859 and 1860 with the support of Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie to serve the new imperial Domaine de Solférino. It is a single-nave building in the neo-Romanesque style, with eight round-arched lancet windows and a multi-lobed rose window. The church contains agricultural motifs as well as a relief featuring Napoleon III's crowned monogram and the year 1860.
The Domaine Impérial de Solférino is classified as a Site Patrimonial Remarquable and offers circular walking routes ranging from 2 to 5 km in length. The circular route through the Domaine Impérial begins at Sainte-Eugénie Church; parking is available on the Allée du Centenaire.
The former imperial village of Solférino features distinctive architecture along the Allée du Centenaire, with symmetrically laid-out lanes, artisans' houses and cottages.
Le Conciliabule comprises six named sculptural figures: Bélipoulpe, Plumedor, Sigrouille, Crocnoir, Sanglille and Castorabois. The ensemble forms a sculpture trail with several stations around the Allée du Centenaire in Solférino. As part of creative workshops with residents, stories, masks and coats of arms were created to accompany the figures of Le Conciliabule.
Nature
The Jardin des abeilles in Solférino was created with the support of the Parc naturel régional des Landes de Gascogne through participatory work sessions as part of the LIFE Abeilles sauvages programme. It is a natural heritage site listed by the Parc naturel régional des Landes de Gascogne.
