The village was once part of the province controlled by the Count Trencavel, a leader of the Cathar movement in Southern France. The Count came to an unfortunate end, after Simon de Montfort brought the Albigensian Crusade to the region to crush the Cathar movement (under the orders of the French King and the Pope in Rome). Today there still remains the remnants of the old chateau (Tour Trencavel) and the nearby chapel of Saint Roch.
