A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 29 December 2025) informs: "11e s : Roleuz. 1101 : Rolluz, 1107 : Rolluoz; Roloux-sous-Fexhe, Rolloux, Roulloux. It is difficult to pinpoint the origins of the village of Roloux, but it is already mentioned in a 10th-century charter (cartulary of Stavelot Abbey). The sanctuary was formerly known as the chapel of the lords of Roloux. The Romanesque building was erected around 1100, constructed of sandstone, limestone, and tufa rubble, and consisted of only one nave. The massive and robust tower is a reminder that in the Middle Ages, places of worship in small rural lordships served as refuges for the population in case of attack. In 1289, the chapel of Roloux was part of the parish of Fexhe-le-Haut-Clocher. 1558 : ecclesia sive capella. It was still a chapel in 1668. The Concordat made the church of Roloux an annex chapel of Jeneffe. In the 19th century, Roloux regained its status as a parish church. The church was enlarged in 1924. Baptisms had to be administered in the church Fexhe until the end of the Ancien Régime. The unusual baptismal font therefore dates from the 19th century at the earliest?
