History

The first cheese dairy in Charly was established in 1865 as a cooperative dairy with 57 members; the cheesemaker used the milk to produce Emmental cheese or butter.

The Chapelle de Charly, also known as the Chapelle Saint-Jacques, is a religious building dating from the 15th century. Its bell tower was listed as a Monument historique on 12 May 1975. Jacques Fusier commissioned the chapel in 1454. After a fire at the end of the 15th century, it was rebuilt in 1541; following another fire in 1787, it was given its present onion-shaped bell tower.
