history
At the beginning of the Hundred Years War, the French burned the village down. On the basis of a water painting in the Albums de Croÿ collection, a large castle may have existed in the Middle Ages, of which numerous towers of different heights still testify today. The castle was built between 1408 and 1417 and was destroyed in the 18th century.
