geography
Labergement-Sainte-Marie is located at 862 m above sea level, about 15 kilometers south-southwest of the city of Pontarlier (as the crow flies). The village extends in the Jura , in an open longitudinal basin on the upper reaches of the Doubs , between the lakes Lac de Saint-Point and Lac de Remoray .
The area of the 22.12 km² large municipality covers a section of the French Jura. The central part of the area is occupied by the Labergement basin ( 850 m ), which is oriented in the south-west-north-east direction according to the strike direction of the Folded Jura in this region. The approximately 2 km wide basin is drained by the Doubs, which enters a gorge-like valley from the southeast and then flows with numerous meanders to the northeast to Lac de Saint-Point. The flat valley floor is largely marshland and also includes the Lac de Remoray, its outlet tavern and the Blanc Bief coming from the east .
The valley basin of Labergement is flanked by predominantly wooded ridges: in the south by Mont de la Croix (up to 1000 m), in the east by Rochat ( 1025 m ) and the Fuvelle , at 1054 m the highest elevation of Labergement-Sainte-Marie is reached, and in the northwest by the Grand-Côte (up to 980 m). To the north, the municipal area extends into the basin of Derrière le Mont and to the Bois du Lac , a hill west of the Lac de Saint-Point, and to the Bois de Chargebin ( 1040 m ) in the extreme northwest. The municipality is part of the Upper Jura Regional Nature Park (French: Parc naturel régional du Haut-Jura ).
Labergement-Sainte-Marie includes the place Granges-Sainte-Marie ( 858 m ) on the eastern edge of the valley basin on the Blanc Bief and various individual farms. Neighboring municipalities of Labergement-Sainte-Marie are Vaux-et-Chantegrue , Malpas , Saint-Point-Lac and Malbuisson in the north, Saint-Antoine in the east, Fourcatier-et-Maison-Neuve , Rochejean and Brey-et-Maison-du- Bois in the south and Remoray-Boujeons in the west.
history
The origin of the settlement of the area lies in the founding of the Cistercian monastery of Mont-Sainte-Marie in 1196. The monks of the monastery made the area arable, so that soon the first farming settlements developed. In the Middle Ages, Mont-Sainte-Marie and Rochejean formed an ecclesiastical and secular rule. Labergement was badly affected during the Thirty Years War . Together with Franche-Comté , the village came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678.
In the course of the French Revolution , the monastery was closed. At the beginning of the 18th century, Labergement was the location of a nail smithy. The village was hit several times by major fires, especially in 1825 and 1898. In 1882 Labergement was officially renamed Labergement-Sainte-Marie. The town was connected to the rail network in 1900 by a tram that ran from Pontarlier via Mouthe to Foncine-le-Haut . However, operations ceased after the Second World War . In 1915 the connection to the international railway line from Dijon via Frasne and Vallorbe to Lausanne was even more important for the village . The area changed in 1972 when the neighboring town of Granges-Sainte-Marie merged with Labergement-Sainte-Marie. Today Labergement-Sainte-Marie is a member of the Lacs et Montagnes du Haut-Doubs municipal association .
Attractions
The parish church of Saint-Théodule was built from 1848 to 1869. The Saint-Théodule chapel (from 1824) and individual remains of the former Cistercian monastery from the 12th century have also been preserved. The forge from the early 19th century is still in operation today. The Lac de Remoray nature reserve has a visitor center (Maison de la Réserve) with exhibitions.
