    In 1829, the Dutch physician Philippus Schmerling found prehistoric remains here. He discovered the Neanderthal man before Neandertal would give it its name after similar finds there in 1856. The caves in which the bones were found are no longer accessible. The area is still known as the site des Grottes Schmerling.
