The area has been settled since Roman times. The village church is mentioned for the first time in 1130 in a document from the Abbey of Stavelot, though the present church building dates from 1891. A castle has existed in the village, but the last remains of it were demolished in 1930. There is a group of calvary crosses in the village, the oldest of which is from 1717.[1]
