The village was famous under the Ancien Régime with the name of Juvigny-les-Dames by the presence of a Benedictine abbey founded in the 9th century by Richilde, wife of Charles II dit le Chauve, born on June 13, 823 in Frankfurt am Main and died on October 6, 877 in Avrieux. Charlemagne’s grandson became the emperor of the west after the division of the Carolingian Empire into three parts (Treaty of Verdun, 843). The abbey was founded in 874 by Queen Richilde and her husband Charles II the Bald to house the relics of Saint Scholastique, twin sister of Saint Benedict of Nursie. The Abbey of Juvigny sur Loison passed through nine centuries of history from the year 874 to the year 1794 (Year II of the new republic where it was handed over to looting and demolition): nine centuries during which it suffered feudal wars, wars of religion, the lust of the neighbouring Princes, the looting of the armed, the plague and the Revolution.
