The area of today's parish was divided between the ban of Harol and the ban of Uxegney in the Middle Ages . Bainville was part of the Bailliage Dompaire and Valfroicourt , from 1751 part of the Bailiwick of Darney . Ecclesiastically, Bainville belonged to the Adompt parish until its own church was built in 1866 , whose parish church dates from the 12th century.
