Neuville-sur-Oise is a rather anonymous village between Jouy-le-Moutier and Cergy inside the last meander of the river Oise. Forty years after the creation of Cergy-Pontoise, the village has retained its bucolic atmosphere and there has been little construction of large scale residential developments.
In 1995 was opened the university of Cergy-Neuville on the site of an old cottage near the D203, a station was also built to serve both the village and the university.
Built by Charles de la Grange, Lord of Neuville in 1640. During the 17th and the 18th centuries, the castle was owned by Anne de la Grange (Marquise de Frontenac), the Marquis de Castellane (Marshall of the king's armies), the Count Florimond de Mercy-Argenteau (Ambassador of Austria in France). The castle has been abandoned since 1989 is the victim of vandalism. A project is afoot to refurbish the building and turn into an old people's home and return this residence to its former glory.

Le Pavillon d'Amour
Le Pavillon d'Amour is a listed building situated Place du Pont on a small terrace in a park on the bank of the river Oise. the interior is composed of pine walls with a blue painted dome white clouds and statuettes of birds.
In the early 20th century was built a suspension bridge between Neuville and Jouy-le-Moutier. This bridge replaced the ferry service between the communes. At the dawn of the war a new bridge was built to replace the dilapidated suspension bridge, it was dynamited a few months after its inauguration when the war broke off.
A new bridge identical to the previous one was built in 1974.
