geography

Anhaux is about 60 kilometers southeast of Bayonne in the Baïgorry Valley in the French part of the Basque Country . The highest point in Anhaux is the Adartza (1247 m) in the extreme south-west of the municipality.

Anhaux is surrounded by the neighboring communities:

Anhaux lies in the catchment area of ​​the Adour River . The Ontzoroneko erhka stream , a tributary of the Nive d'Arnéguy , largely marks the border with the neighboring municipality of Lasse. It rises on the Adartza .

history

Anhaux was first mentioned in the 11th century under the names Onodz and Onoz in the copial book of the Abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde . It says:

  • "1068-1072 Oz guilhem von Onodz and his wife received a piece of land near Onoz from Saint-Jean on the condition that they and their successors deliver sureties and seven loaves of bread, a pig, a sester of wine and two measures of provisions."
  • "1072-1100 Forto Garcias von Onoz with his wife Farguil and his sons undertake to give six loaves of bread, two sesters of cider and two civades to Saint-Jean (de Sordes) for life ."

In 1023, the Vice-County of Labourd was founded by Sancho the Great , King of Navarre. The territory also included Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry, of whom Anhaux was feudal dependent during the Middle Ages.

In the 14th century 28 houses were counted, four of them by noble owners and 24 by serfs . In the district of Chubitoa there was an assembly of Cagots , a group of people who were largely excluded from social life in Spain and France from the 13th to well into the 19th century . The approx. 40 houses, lined up on a street, are spatially separated from the town center by a stream and a forest of chestnut trees . In Anhaux the Cagots practiced mainly the weaving and milling trade . They gained limited citizenship status in the course of the French Revolution and were gradually able to integrate. The last Cagots left the community at the beginning of the 19th century.

coat of arms

Anhaux coat of arms

According to Guy Ascarat , heraldist and historian, the coat of arms can be interpreted as follows.

The coat of arms is that of the Apeztegi family , one of the families that were mentioned as serfs as early as 1350, but were raised to the nobility in 1683 . The members subsequently became influential in the region, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The silver stake (the silver vertical stripe in the middle) is a chivalric feature according to earlier heraldists . The two shells are often represented in coats of arms in Lower Navarra and point to the Camino de Santiago , a pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia ( Spain ).

Attractions

  • The church of Anhaux, dedicated to John the Baptist , was built in the Middle Ages . The current church was almost completely rebuilt in 1838, as evidenced by the date next to the inscription "erecta parodio Cazenave" above the west gate. A side chapel has survived the centuries from the original building . It is built in the Gothic style with ashlar and equipped with pointed arches . Inside the single-nave building there are galleries like those found in all churches in the Basque Country. These are traditionally reserved for men during a fair . Access to the galleries on the north, south and west side is here via an external staircase. The sacristy was redesigned in the 20th century on the south wall near the choir , the glass windows were installed in 1932 by Atelier Moulenc from Toulouse .
Maison Laxaga
  • House Laxaga. The first house was mentioned as early as 1412. The current house itself no longer has any element of the original building. The entrance gate alone, surrounded by large stones, is characteristic of the first half of the 17th century. The house has the typical structure with three floors with a ground floor traditionally for the accommodation of the cattle and for agricultural activities, the first floor as living area and the attic as a hayloft.
  • House Jauregia. The first house was mentioned as a noble residence as early as 1366. Today's house, built in neo-Basque style, no longer has any element of the original building, like the Laxaga house. The entrance gate alone, similar to the Laxaga house, surrounded by large stones, is also characteristic of the first half of the 17th century.

Anhaux is located in the AOC zones of Ossau-Iraty , a traditionally made semi-hard cheese made from sheep's milk, the pig breed and the ham "Kintoa" as well as the wine-growing area of ​​the Irouléguys .
