The highest point of Déservillers is reached here at 870 m. The ridge is divided by two erosion valleys. However, both streams seep away as soon as they step out onto the Amancey plateau. The subsoil of the area is karstified . There are several caves, including the Grotte des Crêtes and the Grotte de Jérusalem .

history
Remains of a Gallo-Roman country estate indicate an early settlement of the municipality of Déservillers. In the 12th century Déservillers belonged to the Scey lordship and to Montmahoux in the 13th century. After that it formed a castlane under the lords of Ornans until the 16th century . Together with Franche-Comté , the village came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. A cheese dairy in Déservillers is mentioned as early as 1273 . That is why the place is also considered the cradle of Comté . Déservillers has been a member of the Loue-Lison community association since 1993 .
Attractions
The Sainte-Agathe church was built in 1730 on the site of a previous building. The bell tower and portal area from the 15th century were taken over from the earlier church . Three village fountains date from the 19th century. In the old town center, numerous farmhouses in the characteristic style of the Haut-Doubs from the 17th to 19th centuries have been preserved.
