History
Ancient History
Romans medals were found at multiple times in Lewarde, as well as ballot boxes filled of ash hiden in an sandstone career and four bronze heads of a gallo-roman style.
Moyen Âge
The town of Lewarde has born on a wooded ridge (the mountains Saint-Rémi) surround an fortified area, built by the count of Hainaut in XIII, where we could monitor the common border of the Counties of Flandres and the Hainaut.
Of the fortified area, nothing has stayed. But, it's at this assumed place, in the fief of Lewarde, where the town church has been built.
