Schlatt is a municipality in Frauenfeld District in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland. Schlatt is first mentioned in 858 as Slate. In the Middle Ages, the House of Kyburg bailiwick of Diessenhofen had jurisdiction over Schlatt. In the 15th century, the town of Diessenhofen became mostly independent and took over the jurisdiction of Schlatt. It exercised this right until 1798. The major landowner before 858 was the Abbey of St. Gall, then after 858 Rheinau Abbey acquired the land. In the 13th century, the monastery of St. Katharinental, along with others, held most of the land in the village. The St Nicholas Chapel, which existed from 1316 until 1812, belonged to Stammheim parish. Though the Protestant Reformation of 1529 created an independent parish of Schlatt, it declined until it was abolished in 1769. In the late 16th century the pastor was provided by Basadingen, and he was provided by Diessenhofen from 1625-31.
