The village of Mont-sur-Marchienne is mentioned for the first time in a list of properties managed by the Abbey of Lobbes in the 9th century. The land belonged at the time to the Bishop of Liège who had received it from the King of Germany, Arnould de Carinthie. From the end of the 10th century, the seigneury of Mont-sur-Marchienne was therefore in the principality of Liège. The solicitors of this town also own the seigneury of Montigny-le-Tilleul. In 1408, the prince-bishop personally regained control of the property for two long centuries. In 1616, the seigniory was committed to the Bilquin-de Cartier family. In the center of the entity, on either side of rue Cardinal Mercier, are the remains of the Château de la Torre, built in the 16th century and which then served as a castle-farm. Around 1570, the building belonged to the bailiff of Marchienne before falling to the Spanish family of Torre y Butron Muxica. In the 19th century, the castle was transformed into a recreation center by the owners of a steelworks before being destroyed between 1942 and 1947 to make way for a residential area. At the entrance to Rue de l'Industrie and Rue du Château are two circular turrets that once flanked the southern flank of the castle. They are surmounted by a polygonal roof with a slate steeple and were built of limestone rubble.
