History & geography

History

Saubraz is first mentioned in the 13th century as de Salubra. In 1251, it was mentioned as Saubra. The town formed around a church, which belonged to the Premonstratensian Abbey of Lac-de-Joux (L’Abbaye) and burned down in 1251. After Bern conquered Vaud in 1536, Saubraz shared in the fate of Aubonne, and in 1701 it became a part of the Aubonne administrative district. After the breakup of the Ancien régime, the town was a part of the canton Léman from 1798 to 1803 during the Helvetic Republic. It subsequently was absorbed by the canton of Vaud and in 1798 assigned to the district of Aubonne. The chapel, which had been built on the ruins of the medieval church, was cleared away during the building of a schoolhouse in 1899. Today, Saubraz is part of the Gimel parish.
