The village extends on a terrace on both sides of the village stream Neirivue on the western edge of the Saan Valley , in the Haute-Gruyère, at the eastern foot of the Moléson massif . The former municipality area was around 13.1 km². The area extended from the Saane (French: Sarine) westward over the up to 1 km wide flat valley floor. The western part comprised the catchment area of the Marive mountain stream , bounded by the limestone peaks of Vanil Blanc ( 1828 m above sea level ) and Dent de Lys ( 2014 m above sea level ) in the south, Teysachaux in the west and Moléson (up to 2000 m above sea level) .

population

With 329 inhabitants (2000), Neirivue was one of the small municipalities in the canton of Friborg before the merger.

economy

For a long time Neirivue was predominantly an agricultural village. The animal husbandry and the dairy industry (for cheese production) have today an important place in the economic structure of the population. There are also other jobs in local small businesses (sawmill, carpentry and a furniture factory) and in the service sector. In the last few decades the village has also developed into a residential community. Some workers are therefore commuters who work mainly in the Bulle region.

traffic

The village has good transport connections. It is on the main road from Bulle to Château-d'Oex . On July 23, 1903, the railway line from Bulle to Montbovon was put into operation with a station in Neirivue.

history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 955 under the name Nigra aqua (meaning black water , which is also reflected in the German name). Later the names Neire ewe (1400), Noyrewe (1514) and Neyrevuy , Nerewe , Neirevet , Neyflumen and Nigergut appeared .

Neirivue has belonged to the county of Gruyères since the Middle Ages . After the last Count of Gruyères went bankrupt in 1554, the village came under the rule of Freiburg in 1555 and was assigned to the Vogtei of Gruyères. After the collapse of the Ancien Régime (1798), Neirivue initially belonged to the prefecture and from 1848 to the Gruyères district. A devastating conflagration on July 19, 1904 affected almost all the houses in the village.

On June 26, 2001, the voters of Neirivue voted with a yes majority of around 60% for the merger of the municipalities of Neirivue, Albeuve , Lessoc and Montbovon . With effect from January 1, 2002, the new community Haut-Intyamon was created.

Attractions

The parish church of Neirivue was rebuilt after the fire of 1904, whereby the choir and the altar of the previous building from 1807 were included.
