Until the French Revolution, Niverlée belonged to the lords of Hierges. It is mentioned in written sources in 1140 as Nevreleis. The village church is in a Neoclassical style and its current appearance dates from 1757. However, the building as such is medieval. Crusader Héribrand III of Hierges (died 1117) was buried in the church.[1]
