Located near Fort du Lomont, this monument pays tribute to the deaths of the Lomont maquis, one of the most important in the summer of 1944 which brought together 3,200 fighters. In November 1944, the Doubs Offensive for the liberation of Montbéliard - Héricourt - Belfort and the march to the Rhine will start from Lomont. The 13-meter monument was inaugurated in 1947. The pass where it is located, at 796m, is called the Passage de la Douleur and in fact, by bike, you will feel the climb passing, on one side or the other.

Currently the town hall of Pont-de-Roide, the castle was one of the first built in the region for the eldest of the four Peugeot brothers, Frédéric (known as Fritz). It was built in 1853 with all the codes of nobility and distinction, both on its facade and in its interior decoration. Many residents of the town were employed by the Peugeot family, for the maintenance of the house, the gardens, etc. It was the widow of Georges Peugeot, Mme de Préville, who donated this property to the city in 1933. Don't forget to also take a look at the Doubs from the bridge facing the castle.
