History

The current commune of Fayet occupies the territory of old the Paroisse S of Fayet and of Castling (the latter called in the past the Castling of Rasele or Papalhonac Castling). Until the Revolution, those formed integral part of the community of Brusque. It is during first half of the 16th century that Tristan II of Clermont-Lodève or one of its sons made build the Château of Fayet, conceived like residence of approval occupying a more central place in the important family possessions. The monumental well of the castle, classified historic building, carries the date of 1564.

The Baronnie of Abrupt was set up in Marquisat the Abruptone in 1610. It was bought little before the Revolution by François de Nougarède who will carry the title of baron de Fayet.
