Palogne was a marshy place traversed by several arms of the Lemblée before its confluence with the Ourthe. This wetland maintained as such was an element of defense at the foot of the castle of Logne until its destruction in 1521. During the 18th century, the abbots of Stavelot, owners of the place, authorized the draining of the marshes and the first building in the hamlet, the Palogne farm. As the place was not conducive to cultivation, this farm was essentially the center of a large orchard but also the place of residence of a water ferryman. At the end of the Ancien Régime, in 1794, the farm was sold to a French officer, Étienne-Joseph Regnier, public prosecutor then public prosecutor. In the 19th century, the Dupont family, originally from My, became owners and had a mansion built near the farm. A water mill on the Lemblée was also built at this time. During the interwar period, the Lawarrée family, who had become owners, set up a hotel restaurant there while continuing to farm. At the end of the 1970s, Édouard Lawarrée, the last water ferryman, sold the property to the French Community of Belgium, which developed a tourist and recreational center there. Since 1978, a footbridge has been used to cross the Ourthe.
