About Kraainem
Little is known about the early history of Kraainem, aside from a few lithic artifacts found during agricultural activities. During the urbanization of Stokkel and South Kraainem, a large concentration of artifacts was discovered in 1928 near the border withSt.-Pieters-Woluwe. These finds are dated to the meso and neolithicum. Remains of Roman settlements were uncovered at the end of the 18th century, and a Roman villa once stood at the location of the current town hall. It was known asVilla Crainham, and gave Kraainem its name. None of the classical remains were preserved, unfortunately. It is known thatVilla Crainhamremained until the 11th century, from 1003 also a church is recorded in charters:crainham villa cum ecclesia.
