The first cadastre of the municipality of Ollans date of 1807. Surrounded by common Cendrey, Avilley, Maussan and Larians, its total area is 231 ha, 30 ha of forests. Located along the Ognon substantially in the middle of two large meanders in a pleasant green setting, Ollans houses spread over the side of a gentle hill that slopes down to the River.
Ollans, if one believes the old, comes from the Celtic "ol" (curvature) and "year" (river), the name would imply: in a river bend. Over the centuries the spelling has changed: Oslans (1218), Osllans (1239), Oyllans (1243), Ollans (1259), Olan (1421). Ollans made its appearance in history in 1243.
Situated on the edge Ognon Haute-Saone, the castle dates from the early 18th century. The first traces of the monument, built on a hypothetical medieval castle date from 1235.

Assigned long as house keeper or gardener, it was redesigned in 1891. It housed the photographic studio of the then owner Charles Derosne.
