Culture and History
Montferrier developed into a castrum during the Cathar period, a fortified village centred around a fortified manor house. The historic fortifications of Montferrier were probably pierced by four gates; two of the gates still preserved today have pointed arches.
The Fangas and Porteille talc mine, also known as the Montferrier mine, was exploited more systematically from 1896 onwards; an ore-processing plant was built in the village of Montferrier.
In the area of the Fangas mine, a stone shelter for miners, a concrete platform, rusty remains of mining carts, and remnants of stone and cement walls are still visible; part of the site is fenced off following safety work carried out after the 2002 rockfall.
