The asteroid 1145 Robelmonte is named after the village, in honour of the astronomer Sylvain Arend (1902–1992), who was born there. HistoryBetween 1968 and 1971 a Gallo-Roman villa was excavated.[1] The current parish church, dedicated to St Martin, was built in 1894.[2] During the Battle of the Ardennes (21-23 August 1914), there was fighting in and around Robelmont between French and German forces.
