The village history goes back at least to 1040, when Emperor Henry III donated the village to the Abbey of Ghislenghien [fr]. The village has been a centre of black marble extraction. The village church dates from 1779. There is also a small 19th-century château, built by Jean-Baptiste Daudergnies, who participated in the construction of the Panama Canal.[1]
