If you are looking for a hotel in Landaville, these themes can help you define the purpose of your trip more precisely.
The church and château: different building histories
The nave and choir of Église Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption were rebuilt in 1762. The bell tower has been a listed historic monument since March 3, 1926. The rebuilding phases of Château de Landaville-le-Bas date back further: it was rebuilt in the 16th century and, in part, in 1732. Following the partial destruction of its buildings in the 19th century, some remains have survived. The nave is the church’s main space; the choir is the area with a particular liturgical function.
The information highlights different aspects of the past. In the case of the church, it concerns two structural elements and different events: the rebuilding of the nave and choir, and the protection of the bell tower. In contrast, several rebuilding phases and surviving remains shape the château’s architectural history. This makes it possible to place the development of the two buildings in different periods.
Archaeological traces in Landaville
Archaeological finds add further local evidence to the architectural history. Numerous bones were unearthed during excavations at the Tumulus of Nassaupré. A polished flint axe was found below Bois du Côté and in the fields north of Landaville-le-Haut. The reported finds differ both in type and context: bones from excavations are presented alongside a worked tool with its own location details.
Ferme de Mayval: farm visits and products
Ferme de Mayval is located on a grassy hill in Landaville. Montbéliarde cattle graze mainly on natural meadows there. This reflects the farm’s agricultural character: cattle farming and the surrounding meadows are part of this focus, as is the production of various dairy products.
The farm produces set yogurts, stirred fruit yogurts, as well as fresh cheese and aged soft and pressed cheeses. The types of yogurt differ in how they are prepared; the cheeses range from fresh to aged products and include various kinds of cheese. Alongside the historical themes, this offers a concrete insight into local production.
Ferme de Mayval offers farm tours and farm-gate sales every Saturday from 16:00 to 18:00. Check this schedule again before your trip. Historical building phases and archaeological finds place Landaville in its historical context, while the farm visit offers a recurring time slot to help plan your stay.
