The settlement consists of two former villages, Javingue and Sevry, united in a single municipality and today part of Beauraing. During the Middle Ages, Sevry belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and Javingue to the Duchy of Luxembourg. The 15th century fortified tower Tour de Sevry lies in Sevry and still retains much of its medieval appearance.[1]
