The village is named after a 4th-century English martyr whose disciples founded a monastery on the site of the church, whose chevet dates from the 11th century. A castle, once owned by the Barons of Apchier and later by the Barons of Molette de Morangiès, still dominates the hilltop. Its keep was destroyed by the routiers who devastated the Gévaudan region during the Hundred Years' War. Altered during the Renaissance and 17th centuries, the building was converted into a psychiatric establishment in 1824. The building, listed as a historic monument since 1942, was also a place of poetic resistance for Paul Eluard and other Surrealists.
