Culture and History

Oulmes is home to the Notre-Dame d’Oulmes church, with a largely Romanesque sanctuary and transept, a dome over the crossing, and a bell tower. The church in Oulmes was classified as a historic monument on 26 December 1930.

The Château d’Oulmes includes horseshoe-shaped farm buildings, which were constructed from the late 17th century onwards, as well as a pavilion built between 1759 and 1764. The present Château d’Oulmes stands approximately on the site of the old château; its staircase has been preserved in the farm buildings. The Château d’Oulmes is listed as a historic monument.
