location

The village extends to the west of the Savoie department, on the northern edge of the Chartreuse massif . The municipality is located within the Chartreuse Regional Nature Park (French: Parc naturel régional de la Chartreuse ). Neighboring communities of Saint-Baldoph are Barberaz and La Ravoire in the north, Myans in the east, Apremont in the south and Montagnole in the west.
topography
The area of the 6.24 km² municipal area extends in the northeast to the alluvial plain between Chambéry and the Isère valley. In the west it rises steadily up to the summit ridge of a ridge of the northern foothills of the Chartreuse, where the municipality floor reaches 881 m . The 610 m high Mont Charvet protrudes from the rise in the terrain . The area is drained from the Albanne to the north towards the Leysse .
Community structure
The settlement area of Saint-Baldoph includes several parts, including
- Le Mollard and Le Nant (around 350 m ) with the church and parish of Saint-Baldoph to the north and
- Muslin and Ronjou (each at 320 m ) as a continuation of the development to the south.
history
The first written mention of a parish at this point took place in 1191 under the name Sanctus Badulphus . A little later a spelling with "r" emerged ( Sanctus Bardolius 1340, Sanctus Bardulphus 1494, Saint-Bardolph 1575), which was mainly used in the local dialect, but in the 18th century in the official spelling again in favor of the "l" disappeared. The place name goes back to St. Badulphus back, abbot in the early medieval Ainay Abbey in what is now the center of Lyon . From the Middle Ages to the end of the Ancien Régime , when Savoy was annexed by the French Republic, Saint-Baldoph was part of the Apremont rule.
After a landslide of Mont Granier destroyed several neighboring villages and the Benedictine priory Notre Dame du Granier in 1248 , the priory was moved to Saint-Baldoph and rebuilt there. It belonged to the powerful Saint-Rambert-en-Bugey Abbey and took over the parishes of Saint-Baldoph, Apremont, Saint-Pierre-de-Soucy and Mognard from Notre Dame du Granier .
During the War of the Austrian Succession , the Spaniards occupied Savoy in order to start campaigns against Piedmont. During the Spanish conquests in December 1742, there was considerable destruction and looting in Saint-Baldoph. The Spanish troops did not withdraw until 1749.
Attractions
The neo-Gothic village church from the 19th century stands on the site of the original church, which was part of the medieval priory and has been modified several times. Only one facade from the 17th century comes from the previous buildings. From Mont Charvet there is a broad view over the valley furrow of Chambéry.
population
With 2809 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017), Saint-Baldoph is one of the medium-sized municipalities in the Savoie department. After the number of inhabitants had decreased continuously in the decades before and after 1900 to only 494 inhabitants in 1936, the municipality has since recorded an increase in population, mainly thanks to its proximity to the greater Chambéry area. The local residents of Saint-Baldoph are called Saint-Bardolain (e) s in French .
