From the Middle Ages , Prévonloup was owned by the Bishop of Lausanne. With the conquest of Vaud by Bern in 1536, the village came under the administration of the Moudon Bailiwick . After the collapse of the Ancien Régime , Prévonloup belonged to the canton of Léman from 1798 to 1803 during the Helvetic Republic , which then became part of the canton of Vaud when the mediation constitution came into force . In 1798 it was assigned to the Moudon district. Prévonloup does not have its own church; it belongs to the parish of Dompierre .
