Arrosès is located in the catchment area of the Adour River and is traversed by the Larcis , a tributary of the Lées , and the Saget, a tributary of the Adours. The Serres stream has its source in the local area and flows near Madiran in the Bergons .
history
Two small barrows , tools and hatchets made of flint are evidence that the area was already inhabited by people in the Neolithic Age, which was certainly due to the favorable location on the hills of the region.
Paul Raymond, archivist and historian of the 19th century, noted the mention of the settlement under the name Aroses in 1385 on the occasion of a census in which 31 households were counted and it was noted that the village is in the Bailliage of Lembeye . This market town developed around the castle of Sauveméa from the 11th or 12th century, whose ruling family was mentioned as early as 1170.
Due to the border location and because the parish priest took the Protestant side, Arrosès suffered considerably from the consequences of the Huguenot Wars in the 16th century.
Population development
After the peak of 679 inhabitants in the middle of the 19th century, the number steadily decreased by more than three quarters by the end of the 20th century. Since then it has remained roughly at the low level of around 150 inhabitants.

Attractions
- Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary , built in the 11th and 12th centuries in Romanesque style . It is believed that the church was built on the site of a pre-Christian meeting place in Gallo-Roman times . Of the Romanesque building, two ornate columns and a tympanum embellished with a carved Christ monogram can still be seen above the entrance portal . The massive bell tower can be seen that it served to defend the place in times of conflict. This is underlined by the fact that the adjacent cemetery had a ring of moats. On the occasion of the Huguenot Wars in the 16th century, in which the community sided with the Protestant side, the building was fortified again. A weir bay window was installed above the entrance portal, loopholes allowed attackers to be shot down from the tower. The church was nevertheless destroyed in the wars and, like most churches in Béarn, rebuilt in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
- Sauveméa Castle. Bernât de Sauveméa put his feudal oath against Gaston III. Fébus , Vice Count of Béarn, resigned in 1344. The current building is a reconstruction in the 18th century and appears on Cassini's map in 1750.
