Noironte

Noironte (French pronunciation: [nwaʁɔ̃t]) is a commune in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France.

The village has always kept a rural character with agricultural activity still present in the early twenty-first century, mainly cattle breeding, polyculture and a cheese factory.

The Château de Noironte is a castle whose existence dates back to the fourteenth century and was completely rebuilt between 1786 and 1830 following a fire.

The Saint-Martin church was built from 1855 to 1880 under the leadership of architect Martin Belliard, replacing the old chapel dedicated to St. John the Baptist.

It is a spire with a truncated octagonal pyramid shape, framed by four pinnacles and surmounted by a roof lantern and a cross.
