The Town Hall (15th century-1904), located place de la Mairie. Its bell tower dates from 1534. It is the former church transformed into a town hall by the mayor-châtelain, Jacques le Cardinal de Kernier, at the beginning of the 20th century. The latter had built a new church for the inhabitants of Val-d'Izé.

The church was built from 1889 to 1895, in sandstone, granite, and limestone. With a Latin cross plan, the building is composed of three naves. The main nave is covered by domes on pendentives, and the crossing of the transept features a lantern tower. The overall design of the ensemble is neo-Romanesque with a bichromy of materials and different stonework. The domed roof, the multiple decorative details, and the play of polychrome materials reflect a mastered art of the Romanesque architecture of Angoumois.

The bell tower is visible from afar and has long dominated the town and its surroundings. The Saint-Pierre church has retained its impact on the local landscape for over a century. It was indeed in 1888 that the Fabrique Council decided to entrust Arthur Régnault, the diocese's architect, with the project for a new construction. His plan was accepted and work began in October 1889, before the blessing of the first stone on March 13, 1890. As an anecdote, the stones are extracted from the quarry of La Bouëxière. Quickly, the inhabitants discovered its citadel-like appearance, Arthur Régnault having wanted to honor the city of Châteaubourg which had not had a castle for a long time! The structural work was completed on March 28, 1893, but due to lack of funds, the bells would wait until 1894. The work on the woodwork and the construction of the high altar took place in 1911, the church being due to host the important Eucharistic congress of 1913. Maintenance work continued over the years, the church having become the property of the municipality since 1905. During the bombings of the summer of 1944, the church was spared. The inhabitants would not forget it: on May 9, 1945, the day after the armistice, the men carried Notre Dame de Boulogne in procession and paraded barefoot through the streets. The centenary was celebrated in 1992 with the decision to install the current organ. The church of Châteaubourg has thus traversed local history from the 15th century – the date of construction of the previous, much smaller church – to that designed by Arthur Régnault.

The sacristy and tower of the current church were built in 1628 and 1632. A chapel was dedicated to Saint Nicholas in 1643. As for the nave, it dates from 1856. It contains a carved wooden altarpiece, bearing the coat of arms of Brignon, one of the church's financiers.

It originally consisted of a simple nave built in the 15th and 16th centuries, and whose straight chancel was rebuilt in 1700. The church, thus restored, was solemnly blessed by the rector on August 2, 1761. In 1806, a chapel dedicated to Saint Margaret was added to the south, and in 1818, to the north, the tower was partly redone, with at its base the chapel of the Virgin Mary. The lord Du Val, at Saint-Didier, has in the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste a tomb where Jean de La Porte, lord Du Val, was buried in 1618, and in 1761 Suzanne Marion, daughter of lord Du Val and widow of Charles Du Boispéan. M. de Guersans, vicar general, erected the confraternity of the Holy Spirit at Saint-Jean-sur-Vilaine on June 25, 1746. Several foundations exist in this church: that of Le Poirier, that of La Bâte, that of La Porte. Jeanne Guyot, lady of La Hamonais, founded an annuity of 36 livres for the maintenance of candles during the octave of the Blessed Sacrament.

Tour Montfromery was originally designed as part of the city walls and served to defend the eastern city limits. Its name dates back to the Constable of Fougères, Beaucé de Montframmery, who was active in 1473. The tower was also known as Tour Saint-Jacques and was connected to a nearby gate called the Four d'Enfer. It was part of the defensive works that protected the city during the Middle Ages.

The Jardin Public is centrally located in the city and extends over several terraces offering sweeping views of the old town and the Château de Fougères. Created in 1865, the park combines features of an English landscape garden, French garden architecture, and botanical design.

The Église Saint-Léonard was built in the 12th century and acquired its present form in the flamboyant Gothic style in the 15th and 16th centuries. During the French Revolution, the church was deprived of its sacred function, but in the 19th century, under architects such as Aristide Tourneux, it underwent extensive renovations, including a new main façade with a large rose window. Inside, 19th-century stained-glass windows depicting episodes from the life of Saint Léonard can be seen.
