TOWN PRESENTATION

Creu is a small village which is near Lake Madine (about 7km).

Around 1750, a Duplessis was lord high, medium and low judge and appointed to cure; justice was exercised by the court guard. Creu existed before the 8th century. Count Wulfoald, founder of the Abbey of Saint-Mihiel, mentioned in 709 of the little river Creu (super fluviolo which vocatur Crui) and bought in the village land that gives his new abbey.

The house was once powerful Creu she was one of four pairs of the diocese of Verdun. Most lords it has produced are listed in the old securities Allen, one of them, maintained in 1208, the revolt of the burghers of Verdun against their bishop.

In 1318, Henry Apremont, Bishop of Verdun, gave the Chevalier Alexandre de Creu, everything he owned in the village, to reward good services he had received. The knight Regnier de Creu freed the inhabitants in 1485. Pierre and Guillaume de Creu are the last lords of this house has long been extinct and bore: Azure a silver cross, the franc area Vaire gold and sand.

Towards the end of the 15th century, the land acquisition Creu passed by the family of Gerard Avillers, bailiff of St. Mihiel, and a century later in that of Choiseul. This manor was a fief of the land of Neuville-en-Verdun.
