In recent decades, the village has also developed into a residential community. The new residential areas are located on the plateau between the old village center and the valley with the A12 motorway. The Givisiez settlement and commercial areas have grown almost complete today with those of the neighboring communities of Freiburg, Granges-Paccot and Corminboeuf.

The municipal area of ​​Givisiez was already populated at Roman times, which could be demonstrated by the discovery of the remains of a villa. The first documentary mention of the place was in 1142 under the name Juvinsie . Later the names appeared Jivide (1143), Juvensiei (1162), Juvise (1285), Juis (1317), Juvisiez (1431), Jivisie (1445), Giistie (1668), Jailer (1805) as well Venisiez , I saw , Juice and Givisiez . As German versions are Slizizach (1497), Parade (1578) and Wezenzech (1705). The etymology of the place name is not clearly clarified. Givisiez could be from the Gallorömic personal names Youth or Gavisius be derived.

Givisiez was a fief of the gentlemen of Estavayer in the Middle Ages, then that of Englishberg, before buying wealthy Freiburg citizens in 1290. From the 15th century the village rule of the Affry family was responsible. In the 15th century, Givisiez came under the rule of Freiburg and was assigned to the old landscape (Neustadtpanner). Until 1793, the neighboring town of Granges-Paccot belonged to the Givisiez community. After the collapse of the Ancien Régime (1798), the village was part of the Freiburg district during the Helvetik and the following time before it was incorporated into the Saaneb district with the new cantonal constitution in 1848.

A merger of Granges-Paccot, Givisiez, Corminboeuf and Chésopelloz was under the name until 2014 „2C2G“ In preparation – the new place should Englisbourg Heissen (after the Englisberg family, which worked in all four locations). This failed due to the rejection by the citizens of Granges-Paccots. [6] [7] [8] [9]

The parish church of Saint-Laurent is essentially due to the 13th century. The church received its current shape in the new building in 1777 and in the enlargement in 1936. In the old town center there is the Affry family’s castle, which was built in 1539 and experienced greater changes in the 17th century. It has a square stair tower, cross stick window and a portico. Today the castle houses an old-age and nursing home. In Givisiez there are also the Boccard Castle from the 17th century and another house of control of the Affry family, which was built in 1703.
