history

In 1180 the community was mentioned as Jussiacum Episcopi . Until 1850 the now independent community Gy belonged to Jussy. Until 1816, some communities around Jussy formed a Geneva exclave , as there was Savoyard territory between them and the city. The church dates from the early Middle Ages and was expanded twice and restored in 1974/75.

Le Crest Castle, built by Théodore Agrippa d'Aubigné in 1621 on the site of the previous medieval building that was destroyed in 1590, is located in the Jussy vineyard . This came into the possession of the Italian Micheli family in 1637, who named themselves after the Micheli du Crest castle. The most famous resident was the geodesist , cartographer and politician Jacques-Barthélemy Micheli du Crest .
