history

Gussainville was first mentioned in 1168 as Gunseivilla and in 1346 as Guxenvilla. The place name is composed of a Germanic personal name ( Guntianus or Gunza ) and the Latin place name ending -villa .

Between 1790 and 1794 the hamlet of Saint-Maurice was incorporated. In 1793 Gussainville received in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government.

Attractions

The parish church of Saint-Maurice, which was built in the 16th century, was partially destroyed in 1833 to straighten a road. Only part of the nave and the church tower remained and were restored in 1850. During the First World War (1914-1918) the church was destroyed again and the last traces of the church were removed in 1975.

A 16th century castle stood in the hamlet of Saint-Maurice. In the 17th century it belonged to the Rouyn family, whose most famous representative Jean-Baptiste de Rouyn was seriously wounded in 1760 in the battle of Sainte-Foy near Quebec in what is now Canada . In his memory, the Rouyn community in Canada named itself after him.

The castle was rebuilt in the 18th century and destroyed in the First World War. Hautoy Castle was built in the 18th century for the Hautoy family, whose last representative was Viscount Roch-Hyacinthe du Hautoÿ, Member of the Estates General in 1789 for the nobility of the Bailliage of Bar-le-Duc . The castle was destroyed in 1915 and replaced by a large house after the war.
