Hachiville (Luxembourgish: Helzen, German: Helzingen) is a village in the commune of Wincrange, in northern Luxembourg. As of 2024[update], the village has a population of 206.[1]
Hachiville was a commune in the canton of Clervaux until 1 January 1978, when it was merged with the communes of Asselborn, Boevange, and Oberwampach to form the new commune of Wincrange. The law creating Wincrange was passed on 31 October 1977.[2]
The name Hachiville [citation needed] appears for the first time in a charter in the year 1130. It is believed, however, that the site has been inhabited since Celtic times and that it was occupied by the Romans. The village's greatest fame lies in its celebrated hermitage, which is probably located on an ancient Celtic place of worship.[3]
