Chessy-les-Mines is the type locality of the mineral azurite, also known as “chessylite.” The species was redescribed and renamed in 1824 by François-Sulpice Beudant (1787–1850), French mineralogist and geologist.
The castle was listed as a historic monument on June 7, 1926.
The Courbeville castle is now open to the public.
