It lies at an average of 400 m and is mainly used for agriculture. To the northwest, the community area extends over a relatively gently rising slope up to a wooded ridge, which drops to the north with a steep step. At 491 m, this ridge, which consists of a resistant layer of limestone from the middle Jurassic period, is the highest point in Trémoins.

Neighboring communities of Trémoins are Champey and Coisevaux in the north, Verlans and Laire in the east, Aibre in the south and Le Vernoy in the west.

history

Trémoins was first mentioned in a document in the 12th century. In the Middle Ages, Trémoins formed its own small lordship, which changed hands over the years and came to the Principality of Montbéliard in 1687. The Reformation was introduced around 1565. When the Guisen invaded Trémoins in 1587/88 it was sacked and destroyed, as was the invasion of soldiers under the Marshal of Luxembourg in 1676. With the annexation of the county of Montbéliard , Trémoins finally came into French hands in 1793. Since 2001 Trémoins has been a member of the Communauté de communes du Pays d'Héricourt, which comprises 20 towns .

Lutheran (Protestant) Church

Attractions

The Lutheran Church of Trémoins was built in 1759 as one of twenty churches that were rebuilt or renovated on behalf of Duke Charles Eugen during his long reign (1737–1793). The parish belongs to the Lutheran parish association Le Mont Vaudois with eleven others . The so-called Château dates from 1557. Various houses from the 16th to 18th centuries in the characteristic style of Franche-Comté have been preserved in the town center.

With 386 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017) Trémoins is one of the small communities in the Haute-Saône department. After the population in the first half of the 20th century was mostly in the range between 150 and 180 people, a significant increase in population was recorded, especially during the 1970s. After a temporary stagnation, there has been another increase since 2000.

Economy and Infrastructure

Until well into the 20th century, Trémoins was a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding). In addition, there are now some local small businesses. In the meantime, the village has also turned into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who do their work in Héricourt and the agglomerations of Montbéliard and Belfort .

The village is well developed in terms of traffic. It is close to the main road N83 which leads from Belfort to L'Isle-sur-le-Doubs . The closest connection to the A36 motorway is around 15 km away. Another road connection exists with Coisevaux.
