The Grand Council of the canton of Fribourg decided construction of the dam on 17/18 May 1918. Designed by Alfred Stucky,[2] the construction was completed by 1920 and in 1921 the reservoir filled for the first time.

Thanks to a forced conduct, electricity is produced at the Electrobroc power plant, located at Broc near the Cailler factory.
