The Romanesque chapel was built on the orders of the Viscount of Béarn, Gaston IV, known as the Crusader (1090-1130), upon his return from the First Crusade. It was entrusted to the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem and experienced its heyday until the mid-16th century, when the Wars of Religion broke out. Inside, behind the beautiful Gothic arches, we can see the tomb with the figure of a medieval knight. On the outside, the details of the capitals are worth seeing.

The Romanesque church was built in the 14th century. The main portal preserves elements from the end of the 12th century, as does the series of corbels that adorn the apse cornice and are characteristic of Romanesque art.
