History

The history of Marville starts with the Moyen-âge, when powerful Seigneur, the count Thiébaut 1 {{er}} of Bar seizes Marville to build a fortress there. It frees the city with the law of Beaumont, very favorable to the inhabitants, and marries the countess Ermesinde of Luxembourg.

The heirs to Ermesinde will yield the city to the counts de Bar and of Luxembourg, causing a joint possession for four centuries between the two counties. This period is called “ the Common Grounds ”. It is characterized by an advantageous neutrality for the inhabitants of Marville during the tumultuous time of the feudal wars.

Marville will grow rich by this favorable position and will know its apogee with the Renaissance in XVIe and XVIIe centuries. For this period, Marville belonged to the Spanish Netherlands; there remain some extremely interesting houses of Renaissance style Spanish. It must be a very rare architectural evidence of the Spanish domination in Gaume.
