history

The area of ​​Corsalettes was already settled during the Bronze Age, which was proven by the discovery of graves. The first written mention of the place took place in 1275 under the name Corsaletes . The place name is derived from the Latin word corticella (small courtyard).

Corsalettes had been in the possession of the Lords of Estavayer since the Middle Ages . During the Gümmenenkrieg , the village was plundered and devastated by Bernese troops. In 1343 Corsalettes were sold to the Counts of Neuchâtel, but they were returned to Estavayer as a fief. Hauterive Abbey had owned land in the village since the 14th century.

Corsalettes came under the rule of Freiburg through purchase in 1442 and was assigned to the Old Landscape (Spitalpanner). After the collapse of the Ancien Régime (1798), the village 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.

In 1999, the villagers decided to merge Corsalettes with Grolley , which went into effect on January 1, 2000. This also moved the district boundaries, as Corsalettes had previously belonged to the lake district (District du Lac).
