Buironfosse is a toponym whose origin could come from the Germanic word “ bur ” or “ burg ” meaning Castle-extremely.

This place was mentioned successively in the forms “ Buironfossa ” with XIIe, “ Birenfosse ” in 1223, “ Buronfosse ” in 1339 and “ Buyronfosse ” in 1541.

The site had to be for a long time occupied by the man since one discovered there prehistoric tools in Silex as well as Gallo-Roman vestiges. Towards Xe Century, Buironfosse, equipped with a fort built out of wood on a feudal Mound and surrounded by a ditch, was a stronghold seigneurial whose properties extended to north from Thiérache, of Ribemont to Avesnes.

A church replaced it, which in its turn plundered, set fire to, strengthened and was several times rebuilt. In 1868, the mound itself was levelled to allow the construction of the current church of Romance inspiration.
