The narrow area of the medieval Castelnau von Monbert was gradually abandoned after the First World War (1914–1918). In 1974 Monbert was incorporated and Le Brouilh was renamed Le Brouilh-Monbert. In the same year, a local association acquired the grounds of the Castelnau von Monbert, which at that time only had one resident. Some of the buildings have now been restored.
