history
Various ceramic finds indicate that the municipality of Recologne was already settled in Gallo-Roman times. The place is first mentioned in 1139 under the name Recolinis . Over time, the spelling changed from Recoloignes (1287), Recolennes (1298), Recoloynes (1325) and Recoulongnes (1545) to Recolonges-les-Marnay (1667).
In the Middle Ages, Recologne first belonged to the Corcondray rule, then experienced various changes of ownership from the 14th century and was also subject to the rule of the Abbey of Saint-Paul of Besançon. During the Thirty Years' War , the place was ravaged by the plague epidemics in 1632 and 1636 and was also sacked by French troops in 1636. The castle was rebuilt in 1640 and passed to the Camus family in 1746. Together with Franche-Comté , Recologne finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678. Today Recologne is a member of the Val Marnaysien municipal association .
