History
Etymology: 2 assumptions: drained lake or deforested forest (would come from the name of the old " field; eychartelles" who included/understood formerly a forest)
The history of Leychert depends until 1789 on that on Roquefixade. After having belonged to the Count de Toulouse and to the lord of Saint Paul Bernard Amiel de Pailhès, Leychert will be included/understood, since half of the 13th century, in the province of the Languedoc, and not in that of the Comté of Foix (limit being with In River , on the current commune of Soula).
The village belonged to the châtellenie of Roquefixade (like Nalzen, Soula, Saint Cirac and In River. It was in the field of the king of France. The lord of Those was the Master of the end of the 17th century until the Révolution.
On the religious level, Leychert was an appendix of Roquefixade, with a vicar. The church is dedicated to Sainte Anne, at least in 1633 (however, a church Saint Pierre of Leichert is regularly mentioned in the notarial acts of the 17th century). After years of dilapidation, this church was restored in the middle of the years 1990, and was classified with the Monuments of France.
In 1636, Henry de Sponde, bishop of Pamiers, asked to hold a parochial register of the marriages, births and death.
