Prez (French pronunciation: [pʁe]) is a municipality in the district of Sarine in the canton of Fribourg in Switzerland. On 1 January 2020, the former municipalities of Corserey, Noréaz and Prez-vers-Noréaz merged to form the new municipality of Prez. [1]
The former municipality of Noréaz is home to the En Praz des Gueux prehistoric pile-dwelling (or stilt house) settlements that are part of the Prehistoric Pile dwellings around the Alps UNESCO World Heritage Site. [2]
En Praz des Gueux is the only prehistoric lakeside settlement on the banks of a small lake in the Canton of Fribourg. The site is dated to the classic Cortaillod era (4000-3500 BC). The site was discovered by accident in 1971 in a boggy area near the present shore of the Lac de Seedorf. Under a layer of about 70 cm (28 in) of peat timbers, gravel and stone slabs were discovered. [3]
Corserey is first mentioned around 1150-62 as Corserei. [4]
Noréaz is first mentioned in 1134 as Noarea. [5]
Prez-vers-Noréaz is first mentioned in 1156 as de Pratellis. [6]
Post-merger Prez has an area, (as of the 2004/09 survey), of 12.61 km2 (4.87 sq mi). [7]
The new municipality has a population (as of December 2020 [update]) of 2,345. [8]
