The massacres of August 25, 1914 — During the invasion, German troops cruelly killed 69 people — men, women and children — including 36 residents and burned the village; only 8 houses out of the 138 in the village were spared. Three monuments commemorate this disastrous day: the war memorial on the town square (bearing the names of all the victims), a column marked with 69 small crosses, next to the church, and on the scene of a collective massacre, in a meadow at the entrance to the village, a small enclosure including an iron cross.
