Former fortified village whose XNUMXth century castle was built on the site of a medieval fortified castle, which commanded the Midou plain and protected Monguilhem.
Located high up, this ancient stronghold surrounded by ancient ramparts protected the surrounding villages as well as navigation and the transport of foodstuffs such as wine, Armagnac and cereals between the upper Gers and Bordeaux via Mont de Marsan. We can still see traces of ditches there.
In the middle of the XNUMXth century, the town saw the birth of numerous pilgrimages.
During the Second World War, the Monbel estate received the commander of the Place de Paris and his staff. It will then serve as a temporary shelter for the health services of the Armagnac battalion during the summer of 2.

the Château de Castex, home of the former deputy of Gers, Abbadie de Barrau, is worth a detour.
Also meet at the church of St Canne whose tabernacle and counter altar have been listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1986.
