About Herve

In this area we find traces of all periods. The first man dragged flint stone, rock that was abundantly found here. With the arrival of the Romans large estates arose, which the residents called “villa”. The most important villa is undoubtedly Villa Fouron, which later became a Merovingian and much later a Carolingian palace. Charlemagne/Magnus Carolus undoubtedly went hunting in the vast forests that covered the plateau. In the city there are only beautiful 18th-century houses and a monument that goes by the name Les Six Fontaines. Each of the six fountaines is fed with water from a different source.
