In 1277 it was mentioned as de Calce. It was known as La Chaux (VD) until 1953. In the 13th century the village belonged to the Knights Templar and it came into the possession of the Order of St John in 1315. It was united with the settlement at Cransaz to form a commandry which was headed by the preceptors of Vaud. The Preceptors were, until 1580, the patrons of Montbrelloz, Fribourg, and Saint-Jean de Grosset, Pays de Gex. The commandery was abolished during the Protestant Reformation. More information...
