geography
location
Saint-Trivier-sur-Moignans is located at 253 m , about 29 kilometers west-southwest of the prefecture of Bourg-en-Bresse , 35 kilometers north of the city of Lyon and 26 kilometers south of the city of Mâcon (as the crow flies). The village belongs to the landscape and historical province of Dombes in the southwest of the Ain department. Neighboring municipalities of Saint-Trivier-sur-Moignans are Baneins in the north, Relevant , Sandrans and Bouligneux in the east, Sainte-Olive in the south, Villeneuve in the southwest and Francheleins and Chaneins in the west.
topography
The area of the municipal area of 41.99 km 2 comprises a section of the western Dombes, a high plateau crossed by countless lakes and bodies of water between the Saône valley in the west and the Jura in the east. The municipality is traversed by the Moignans river from south to north and drained via the Chalaronne to the Saône. To the north of the village, the Moignans enters a small valley that is about 30 m deep into the otherwise flat landscape. The actual lake landscape of the Dombes only begins at the eastern edge of the municipality, so that the soil around the town center is used intensively for agriculture and is mainly divided into fields (67%). Other uses are meadows (11%), forests (9.5%) and orchards (4%).
Community structure
Saint-Trivier-sur-Moignans has a large number of larger farmsteads that are scattered around the actual town center. To the north of the village is Béreins, now a group of farms. In the south are the two hamlets Montagneux ( 275 m ) and Bas Montagneux ( 272 m ).
history
Legends say that the eponymous Saint Treverius settled as a hermit on the Moignans river in the 6th century.
In the High Middle Ages , the place appeared for the first time in 1145 as Sanctus Triverius in the documents. The lands in this area had been owned by the Counts of Lyons and Forez since the 10th century , who established a small manor here and leased it to the Lords of Beaujeu . Under the de Chabeu family as vassals, the place was fortified and made a baronnie in 1450.
First the archbishops of Lyon exercised the church patronage over Saint-Trivier; this went at the beginning of the 12th century to the Abbey of La Chaise-Dieu and in 1602 to the Minimites in Lyon.
Béreins was also the seat of a small lordship in the Middle Ages and was an independent municipality until 1826. In 1612 the borders between the provinces were changed so that Béreins belonged to the Bresse and Saint-Trivier to the Dombes . No remains of the castle in Béreins have survived, and the parish church, which was destroyed in the French Revolution , was not rebuilt.
From 1793 to 2015, the municipality was the capital (French: chef-lieu ) of the canton of Saint-Trivier-sur-Moignans .
Attractions
The medieval structure of the village center is still visible today. Part of the city wall (French: remparts ), which was built in the 15th century and torn down during the French Revolution , still stands today and is inscribed as a monument historique . The city wall was built from Savoyard bricks and had 14 towers and three city gates. The preserved section has two defense towers and a dovecote and was part of a granary, which saved it from demolition. It was restored in the years 2013-2014 and exempted from extensions from later times.
The village church of Saint Trivier et Saint Denis goes back to a Romanesque building, of which only parts of the apse are preserved after a renovation in 1799.
