Seiry is a small village located in Switzerland. It is part of the larger municipality of Lully in the canton of Fribourg. Imagine it like a smaller neighborhood within a bigger town.

Before 2006, Seiry was its own independent municipality. But on January 1, 2006, it joined with another village called Bollion. Together, they became part of Lully. This kind of change helps smaller places work better with their neighbors.
