History

==History== Falisolle was one of the possessions which were ceded around 650 CE to the monastery of Fosses by Itta, the widow of the Mayor of the Pepin of Landen Palace. The locality remained in the hands of the group until the end of the Ancien Régime and designated a dependency of Liège. The advowson rights belonged to the lord of Morialmé. This advow protected and defended the community, especially religious institutions, which in turn provided the advow with a portion of their property or estate rights.
