History

Charles the Bald gave the former royal estate of his 845 follower and chronicler Nithard. Later, the property initially belonged to the abbey of Prüm, followed by the lords of Le Nouvion -en- thiérache and in 1137 the Premonstratensian abbey. In 1210, the abbey built a village. The manorial rights were transferred to the Duke family of the house of Guise. In 1462 John took over from Luxembourg the village after the castle was destroyed by the English in 1423. In 1650 the village was taken over by the Spaniards. The first local chronicle was published on March 8, 1888.

Throughout history, the spelling of the name has been changed several times. Thus we find in the past Anapia, Hanapium, Henappe ( on the map of Cassini ), Hannape, Hannappes ( this term is also at City Hall and on the lock plate) and currently Hannapes town sign. The notation differs from place Hannappes in the Ardennes, only 60 kilometers away.
