As a result of the fusion of the Belgian municipalities in 1977, it was split in two: Éhein-Haut, the southern part, became part of Neupré, while Éhein-Bas, on the banks of the Meuse, was subsumed into Engis.
Caves
The rock has many caves, the best-known of which are the Lyell Cave and the Rosée Cave. Early explorations of the caves were done by Philippe-Charles Schmerling starting in 1829. Subsequent researchers, including Ernest Doudou, have proven that the area was inhabited since the Paleolithic.
