Faugères (French pronunciation: [foʒɛʁ] ⓘ; Languedocien: Faugièiras) is a commune in the Hérault department in southern France.
[citation needed] Faugères is also known for the old windmills that overlook the village from a nearby hill to the north.
[citation needed] The castle of Faugères dates back to at least 1030AD, but it was heavily damaged during the Wars of Religion and today only small sections of the keep, the watch tower and castle wall remain.
[citation needed] Four Protestant churches have existed in Faugères over time and two remain today.
[citation needed] In the hills around Faugères are many capitelles, round dry-stone shelters with vaulted roofs, built to protect shepherds and farmers from the elements.
