Among its remarkable buildings is theUsine élévatrice des eaux de Colombes, built at the end of the XIXᵉ century, which testifies to the technical challenges of water supply and urban treatment.The Musée municipal d'Art et d'Histoire de Colombes, meanwhile, houses collections linked to local history, industry, art and the city's memory.
