History
Cheiry is first mentioned around 1184-85 as Chirie, when the bishop of Lausanne Roger de Vico Pisano donated it and Surpierre's churches to the priory of Saint-Maire in Lausanne, confirmed by Pope Lucius III.[2]
By 1228, Cheiry had become a parish church dedicated to St. Sylvester, which was probably the first parish church in Surpierre, before becoming a branch of the Notre-Dame des Champs church in Surpierre. In 1380, it was part of the Surpierre seigneury, and in 1536 was attached to the Fribourg bailliage of Surpierre. In 1624, the village burned to the ground. In 1798 it was then attached to Estavayer, and then again to Surpierre from 1803 to 1848. A sanctuary was built in 1967; Cheiry was traditionally an agricultural area and grew cereals, tobacco and raised livestock.[2]
An early medieval necropolis was discovered on Cheiry's grounds.[2] Starting in 1986, its land was reorganized.[2] On 5 October 1994, 23 members of the Order of the Solar Temple were found in dead in the farm La Rochette in Cheiry in a mass murder-suicide.[3][2] Its territory was enlarged in 2005 with the formerly independent municipality Chapelle.[2] In 2021 the municipality of Cheiry merged into the municipality of Surpierre.[4][2]
