Culture and history
The castrum of Dun was initially under the rule of the House of Carcassonne and subsequently the House of Foix. The present-day village of Dun has a regular layout, with its streets intersecting at right angles. From the Middle Ages to the present day, there were at least twelve churches in the area of the present-day municipality of Dun.
The original construction phase of Saint Michael's Church very probably dates to the transition from the 13th to the 14th century. During renovation work on the church, paintings with olive-leaf tendrils were discovered in 1990 in the inner reveals of the eastern choir windows. In addition, Cathar Perfects preached publicly in Dun several times in 1244.
