Toponymy

The oldest known name of the place as Capella Sancte Thecle goes back to the year 1155. So the church must have already existed; it is dedicated to Saint Thecla of Iconium . In his Histoire de la Bresse louhannaise , Guillemaut states that the parish owes its name to Sainte Thècle from the Lyon area, whose veneration was widespread in the Middle Ages. Mâcon monks cleared the area and built a chapel in honor of Thekla, which was the beginning of the later church. The chapel later became the choir of today's church. During the revolution the parish was called Sâne-la-Vive , today the parish is often colloquially referred to as Chapal .

history

Half of the municipality belonged to the lordship of Montpont , the other half to the Bourg-en-Bresse bailiwick . During the revolution it still consisted of two communities of approximately the same size; part belonged to Louhans , the other to Pont-de-Vaux . An agreement regulated the association, according to which the merged congregation should belong where the church tower is located. As a result, today's municipality of La Chapelle-Thècle came to Louhans and the Saône-et-Loire department . However, the old municipal archives are still in Bourg-en-Bresse .

A special feature of the community is the fact that two types consist of roofs: on the one hand, the steep and high, with flat tiles covered, that for the Bresse house the bourguignonne Bresse are typical, on the other hand, the flat (<25% inclination) with overtiles and covered . Today more and more roofs are covered with flat tiles, so that this typical boundary of the architectural styles is less and less recognizable.

Historical events:

• In 1749 six children are said to have been eaten by a wolf.
• In 1940 an Italian plane dropped its bombs on the hamlet of Frettechise , thereby destroying a residential building.
• 1943: On December 23rd, two residents of Dézaret were tortured and killed by German soldiers looking for resistance fighters.
• 1944: On April 24, a British Avro Lancaster crashed in the hamlet of Petit-Bordey ; only one of the seven men survived.
• 1945: On September 4th, an American P-47 had to make an emergency landing east of the town. He was rescued by Allied forces and became a colonel in the American armed forces.

The municipality is located in a rather delicate area, in that the waters it traverses drain large stretches of the Jura. The following natural disasters are noted recently:
