Masevaux

The Rosen family came to own Rougemont Chateau and the Abby of
Masevaux that admitted women of noble birth. The name Rothenbourg is
German for Rougemont, thus we have a contest of ownership of a Rose
liniage that was protected by the Lords of Ferrette/Rougemont. Is
this the same Rosen family found at the core of Swedish royalty? A
group of mysterious folk have come to own Rougemont Chateau.

"The seigniory was returned in Fugger, which in 1681, yielded it
against the sum of 56.000 francs to the former Swedish brigadier,
Conrad de Rosen. This sale was ratified by Louis XIV.
Thanks to goodwill of Louis XIV, Rosen became thus, owners of the
field of the abbey in spite of the protests of the Abbess. Conrad de
Rosen sold it the 01/12/1684, with the assent of the king to his son-
in-law Nicolas de Rothenbourg raised with the dignity of count per
Louis XIV. By this marriage between Anne Jeanne de Rosen and Nicolas
Frederic de Rothenbourg, the two seigniories of Masevaux and
Rougemenont will be linked later between the hands of their son
Conrad Alexandre. (to thank it for these services of diplomat, the
king conferred the seigniory of Rougemont to him.) Died in 1735,
without posterity, the seigniory passed in possession of his/her two
sisters. One chanoiness of Rougemont, the other Jeanne had married
the count de Vaudrey. Their daughter, Jeanne Octavie Maria with
Octave of Rosen. This marriage was born a son, Eugene Octave, whose
girl, Sophie de Rosen, married the prince of Charles Louis Victor de
Broglie who was guillotiné during the revolution. At the beginning
of the revolution, the chapter is declared quite national. The
9/03/1794, the new municipal administration delivered passports with
the three Swiss chanoinesses so that they leave the places. January
24, 1799, administrators of the department procéde to the sale of
the buildings of the chapter in nine batches on the basis of made
estimate George Chrétien Kuhlmann, expert geometrician-geographer of
Colmar named on July 22, 1798.

HISTORY:

Its origins go up in XIIIe century, time to which, according to the
legend, the count Maso, nephew of Atticus the father of Sainte-
Odile, made build a sumptuous castle on the hill of Schlossberg,
whose dependences were spread out to banks of Doller. At the top of
Ringelstein, enormous rock which is drawn up vis-a-vis the center of
help, one sees today still a well cut in the rock. Struck by the
death of his young person wire, who drowned in Doller, the count
Maso founded an abbey of Bénédictines under the term of Saint-Léger.
The abbey inherited all the goods of the count Maso. Not being able
to defend itself, the abbey had to call upon the protection of the
lords and accepted successively the supervision of the counts de
Montbéliard, of the counts de Ferrette, the archdukes of Austria,
the counts de Bollwiller, the counts de Fugger, Rosen and
Rothenbourg. The last lord of Masevaux, Charles Louis Victor de
Broglie died on the scaffold during Terror. Around the castle and
abbey, was slowly formed a small agglomeration whose archduke
Frederic II of Austria made a city strengthened in 1215. Taken by
the English in 1375, it undergoes the competitions of the Armagnacs
and of Bourgignons and by the Thirty Year old war the city will not
be saved knows an economic success without precedent to the XIX.
