The locality has been settled at least since the Bronze Age. The first written mention of the village dates from the Middle Ages. Bonlez Castle is located in Bonlez; the village church is also a historical building, dating in its current appearance largely from 1771, when it was rebuilt according to a design by Laurent-Benoît Dewez. Inside, it contains furnishings from the 15th to 17th centuries.[1]
