In the course of the 15th century the village came under the rule of Freiburg and was assigned to the Old Landscape (Burgpanner). After the collapse of the Ancien Régime (1798), Oberried belonged to the La Roche district during the Helvetic period and to the Friborg district from 1803 before it was incorporated into the Saane district in 1848 with the new cantonal constitution.
In 1996 the idea of a large-scale community merger was born. On June 13, 2002, the voters of Oberried voted with a yes share of 73% for the merger. With effect from January 1, 2003, the previously independent municipalities of Oberried, Bonnefontaine , Essert (FR) , Montévraz , Praroman and Zénauva were merged. The new parish was named Le Mouret .
Attractions
The original Sonnenwil country estate was built in the first half of the 17th century by the Von der Weid family from Freiburg. In the course of the 20th century it was redesigned in several phases to become today's Institut Les Peupliers, so that hardly anything is left of the old building fabric.
