Rougemont is an ancient fortified village with surviving ramparts, a medieval gate, and an ancient castle. The village also boasts a 13th-century collegiate church, a listed historic monument. Its history is linked to that of the lords of Rougemont, who were influential in the region during the Middle Ages.

Built in 1828 by the architect Louis Moreau and listed as a historic monument in 1977, it is made of pink sandstone from the surplus of the thermal baths of Luxeuil-les-Bains.

Ollans Castle was built in the 18th century. It is surrounded by a vast garden bordered by the river, and decorated with two statues from the 1740s representing Diana and Apollo. It belonged to Charles Derosne, a beekeeping enthusiast and friend of Sully Prudhomme. It is also in this castle that the writer composed his first collection of poetry, Le Bonheur. The castle cannot be visited these days, but it is a great place to take a photo.

October 21, 2023, Abbaye de Bellevaux

Bellevaux Abbey was a Cistercian monastery, founded in 1120 by Pons de Morimond, near present-day Cirey, in Haute-Saône, France. At that time it was in Franche-Comté. It was removed in 1790 and sold in 1791. Shortly after, the church was demolished. 1795 the buildings were purchased by Jean-Charles Pichegru. The “castle” site, for its part, hosts events (medieval festivals, markets) in its park thanks to the dynamism of an association seeking to promote the former religious domain. The old abbey is open to visitors from time to time. Information on 06 33 80 08 12 or 03 84 94 84 98.

The castle is private property and is only open to the public in the presence of the owners or a member of the association (an appointment can also be made). The rooms are open on Sunday afternoons from mid-April to early October (guided tours at 3:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. or by appointment) and 4 weeks from July 14 to August 15.
