The Ferme du Valtencheux is a significant building complex made of brick and natural stone, dating predominantly from the 17th century, with documented aristocratic origins.

Traditional houses and agricultural outbuildings constructed using clay-and-wattle techniques are still widespread in Renty. Moulin Cocatrice is a mill built of brick in the 19th century, in which one of the few surviving Chartils is preserved.

Moulin Valembois was restored; its mechanisms were preserved, and it was given a new economic, educational, and tourist use. According to oral tradition, it was built as a fulling mill in the 19th century; it was subsequently mentioned as a paper mill and later as a grain mill. In 1923, it was converted into a sawmill. Today, the building is a residential house.
