    The village, which has probably existed since Roman times, was occupied by the lords of Sorfeld (Strainchamps), a noble family whose oldest representative is Arnold de Sorfeld, a gentleman at the court of King John the Blind of Bohemia. The seigniory is still present until 1538, when Strainchamps was attached to the provostship of Bastogne.
    The prosperous period was that of the Austrian regime.
    During the Second World War, on May 10, 1940, the day of the outbreak of the 18-day campaign, the Germans of the 2nd Panzer Division sought to seize the village in the afternoon but they came up against the defense of the elements of the 5th company of the 1st Ardennes Chasseurs regiment relying on forts and a T-13 light armored vehicle. Tanks, infantry and German artillery eventually push the defenders to fall back around 5:30 p.m., after almost four hours of resistance.
    When the communes merged in 1977, Strainchamps passed from the commune of Hollange to that of Fauvillers.

      Nice information about the train station.
      Here, too, preparatory work for asphalting is underway.
