Seleute is a small village located in the Jura canton of Switzerland. It used to be its own separate municipality. This means it had its own local government.
However, on January 1, 2009, Seleute became part of a larger municipality called Clos du Doubs. So, while it's still a village, it's now managed as part of a bigger area.
