Dampierre-sur-Linotte is a municipality in the French department of Haute-Saône in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Dampierre-sur-Linotte is located at an altitude of 260 m above sea level, about 13 kilometers south-southeast of the city of Vesoul (as the crow flies). The clustered village extends in the wide basin of the Linotte north of the Ognon river valley , between the forest heights of the Bois de la Côte in the east and the Grand Bois de Dampierre in the north.
The area of the 32.48 km² municipal area comprises a section of the undulating landscape between the river valleys of Ognon in the south and Saône in the north-west. The central part of the area is crossed in a north-east-south-west direction by the broad basin of the Linotte, which averages 260 m. The approximately one kilometer wide depression consists of alluvial soils and is used for agriculture.
The valley of the Linotte is flanked on both sides by plateau-like hills, which are partly covered with arable land and meadow, partly with forest. To the east of the valley, the terrain rises to the plateaus of the Bois de la Côte (325 m) and the Bois du Petit Pas (up to 340 m), which are subdivided by the furrows of the source streams of the Linotte. This section of terrain consists of limestone layers from the Upper Jurassic period . To the west of the Linotte valley, limestones from the middle Jurassic period emerge. Here are the plateaus of the Bois de la Bouloie (318 m) and the extensive Grand Bois de Dampierre (361 m). There are no above-ground rivers because the rainwater seeps into the karstified subsoil. In the far north, the municipal area extends to the ridge of the Montcuchot , on which the highest point of Dampierre-sur-Linotte is reached at 393 m.
In addition to the town itself, Dampierre-sur-Linotte includes various hamlets and farm settlements, including:
- Trevey (290 m) on a terrace on the eastern side of the Linotte Valley
- Presle (270 m) in the valley at the confluence of the Ruisseau des Grouvots and Linotte
- Les Gillots (278 m) at the western foot of the Bois de la Côte
- Les Marmets (282 m) south of Montcuchot
Neighboring municipalities of Dampierre-sur-Linotte are Neurey-lès-la-Demie , Villers-le-Sec and Noroy-le-Bourg in the north, Vallerois-le-Bois , Chassey-lès-Montbozon , Thieffrans and Cognières the east, Bouhans- lès-Montbozon and Fontenois-lès-Montbozon in the south and Vy-lès-Filain and Filain in the west.
history
The valley of the Linotte was probably already settled at the time of the Merovingians . On January 23, 840, villagers killed an Irish monk from Luxeuil Monastery who was passing here. He was later called Saint-Maimboeuf. The place name appears as de domni Petra 1183 for the first time in the documents. Dampna Petra (1275), Dampiere (1280) and finally Dampierre (1406) have survived from a later period . Dampierre consists of the names domnus (lord, also saint) and Peter, which means a parish that is under the protection of Saint Peter.
In the Middle Ages, Dampierre belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in that part of the Bailliage d'Amont . Presumably a house of the Knights Templar had existed here since the 13th century. During the Thirty Years War , the place was ravaged and devastated by Swedish troops. Together with Franche-Comté , Dampierre finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Since the time of the French Revolution , the place was called Dampierre-lès-Montbozon . In 1879 the parish was officially renamed Dampierre-sur-Linotte. The area changed in 1972 when the previously independent municipalities of Presle (1968: 117 inhabitants) and Trevey (1968: 41 inhabitants) merged with Dampierre-sur-Linotte. Since 2000 Dampierre-sur-Linotte has been a member of the Communauté de communes du Pays de Montbozon, which comprises 21 localities .
Attractions
The church of Dampierre-sur-Linotte was rebuilt in 1853 on the site of a previous building. It has rich furnishings from the 18th and 19th centuries, a wooden crucifix from the 14th century and the stone statue of Saint-Maimboeuf from the 13th century. To the north of the church is the Saint-Maimboeuf fountain. The church of Saint-Pierre de Presle dates from 1862 with a stone cross (17th century) and two statues from the 18th century. The small chapel Notre-Dame de l'Assomption in the hamlet of Trevey was built in 1732.

With 725 inhabitants (2007) Dampierre-sur-Linotte is one of the small communities in the Haute-Saône department. After the population had decreased significantly in the first half of the 20th century (907 people were still counted in 1881), slight population growth has been recorded again since the beginning of the 1970s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Dampierre-sur-Linotte was primarily a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. In addition, there are now various small businesses, especially in the wood processing, precision engineering and packaging industries. In the meantime, the village has also turned into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who work in the larger towns in the area.
The village is located away from the major thoroughfares on a department road that leads from Montbozon to Vallerois-le-Bois. There are other road connections with Vesoul, Vy-lès-Filain and Cognières.
