A settlement probably existed here during Gallo-Roman times. In the 12th century, it was a dependency of Thy-le-Château, and in 1226 it belonged to Walcourt. From the 15th century, the land was divided between different owners. The village church is a late Gothic building, consecrated in 1584. There is also a fortified farm, founded in the 13th century, in the village.[1]
