history
Before the French Revolution, La Neuveville belonged to the Bailiwick of Neufchâteau . The church was part of the deanery Châtenois in the diocese of Toul , the tithe got the chapter Poussay .
A predecessor settlement, which existed in the 10th century and was further to the southwest and thus higher up, was destroyed by Hungarian horsemen . In the period that followed, a new settlement was built directly on the river Vair , which in the middle of the 13th century was large enough to form its own parish and build a first church.
In 1306, Duke Theobald II granted the place called La Nueveville desouz Chastenois the right to hold a covered weekly market. The street name Rue de la Halle has been preserved to this day.
The settlement area was divided into two parts that still exist today: the rue de la Halle as part of the main road from Neufchâteau to Mirecourt formed the economic center of the municipality, while a T-shaped structure developed to the southeast with the Church and the watering hole on Vair stand.
The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, which had already been closed due to dilapidation, was reconstructed in 1789. After the completion of the work, which fell in the middle of the French Revolution, the church was closed. It was not until 15 years later that the first mass was read in the converted church.
