history

Arrufens was first mentioned by name in 1341. Under the rule of Savoy , Arrufens belonged to the rule of Billens until 1346 , after which it came to the d'Illens and was owned by the Mestral de Mont family from around 1470–1840 Romont and in 1848 to the Glanebezirk. Before the merger in 1868, Arrufens was part of the Billens parish. The St. Annakapelle, built in 1676, was both a resurrection center and a pilgrimage destination.
