    Small Jura village with a 30 meter high onion dome at the local church that can be seen from afar.

    The village used to be called Hohenbelz or Hohenpolenez.

    The name "Bolenze" or "Bolinze" was mentioned for the first time on August 6, 1096 in a document on the occasion of an exchange of goods, in which Arnolt de Bolence appeared as a witness.

    The distinction between Hohenpölz and Tiefenpölz only came up in the 12th century.
