history

Saint Martin Church

The community used to pay homage to the Count of Ponthieu . It was first mentioned in 830, when Louis the Pious left the village and the associated lands to the Abbey of Saint-Riquier as a fief. The place is documented again in the years 900 (as sylva olnodioli ), 1184 (as onnodium ), 1301 (as onneu ) and 1492 (as Honneu ). The abbots of Saint-Riquier built a castle in Oneux, which during the reign of Louis XV. was destroyed.

After the main town burned down around 1660, it was moved about two kilometers to the south. The Saint-Martin church, which also replaced the dilapidated church in nearby Neuville, was built in 1689/90. In 1782 the sacristy was added and the bell gable was replaced in 1861 by a bell tower with two side towers.
