history

The area of Chandossel was settled very early, which was proven by the discovery of two Celtic bracelets . The first written mention of the place took place in 1214 under the current name, which is a diminutive form of Chandon .

Chandossel has been part of the Avenches rule since the Middle Ages . From 1327 to 1333 the Vallis Pacis Charterhouse existed in the village . The village came to the Lords of Praroman through purchase in the 15th century and came under the rule of Freiburg in 1536, whereby it was assigned to the area of the Old Landscape (Spitalpanner). After the collapse of the Ancien Régime (1798), Chandossel belonged to the then Friborg district of Avenches during the Helvetic period and from 1803 to the district of Friborg before it was incorporated into the lake district in 1848 with the new cantonal constitution. Since 1831 Chandossel was an independent municipality. With effect from January 1, 1983, however, it was incorporated into Villarepos.
