Toponymy

The place is first mentioned in 1155 as Ecclesia de Saonay . The ending -ay suggests Gallo-Roman settlement, a little later the place with Saornaco is actually mentioned, i.e. as a property of Saornus . Ultimately, the current place name Sornay arose from this .

history

A short stretch of the Roman road Louhans – Tournus probably passed east of Sornay. Allegedly there was a castle at the place where the Mairie stands today. Sornay belonged to the lords of Sainte-Croix , who in 1387 had a fair in October, on the day of Saint-Germain, called without the permission of the Duke of Burgundy . The Lords of Cuisery and Chalon wanted to prevent this, which the Duke of Burgundy protected and forbade the fair. In the 18th century the village belonged to the Perrigny family , the area of Grannod to the Gueret family and La Croix to the lords of la Marche . In 1856 there were several grain and oil mills as well as tanneries on the Seille. There were two community schools and two Protestant schools. The old church from the 12th century was moved to the new main street at the beginning of the 19th century, the choir was enlarged in 1846 and the roof was restored in 1861. As a result, the walls shifted due to a construction error, but the church continued to be maintained and repaired. Eventually it had to be canceled. At the end of the 1970s a new church was built around the old bell tower from 1834 and consecrated in October 1980. The boys 'school dates from 1903, the girls' school from 1912 and the post office from 1913. Around 6 kilometers of towpaths have been repaired along the southern bank of the Seille . In 1988 there were 119 farms in the municipality. In 1973 Sornay - along with Branges - was merged with Louhans, but in 1979 the merger was reversed.

heraldry

Since September 18, 2009, the municipality of Sornay has been using an official coat of arms, which cannot be directly traced back to a family, but was created by various bodies. The coat of arms, its meaning and history was presented to the population in the Journal Municipal of December 2009. Blazon: Embraced by a blue cross, in fields 1 and 4 a red lock on a gold background, in 2 a red cock on a gold background, in 3 a red sheaf on a gold background.

The shape was adopted from the coat of arms of the Guerret family , as well as gold and blue. Gold symbolizes wealth, purity and stability, blue loyalty and loyalty. In the case of Sornay, the blue cross simultaneously symbolizes the two main rivers in the municipality, the Seille and the Sâne . The two castles symbolize Grannod and Lusigny , but also protection and security. Hahn und Garbe show the connection to the Bresse and mark Sornay as an agricultural place.
