history

On January 1, 1973, the former municipality of Bruges merged with the former municipalities of Capbis and Mifaget to form the new municipality of Bruges-Capbis-Mifaget.

Bruges

The Bastide of Bruges was built by Gaston III in 1357 . , called Fébus, Count of Foix and Viscount of Béarn. With this step Gaston might want to consolidate his position in the Béarn by tying the hitherto autonomous settlements to himself and to complete a line of defense against the neighboring historic province of Bigorre . The foundation of Bruges concludes the period of the foundations of Bastides in Béarn. The name probably comes from the Flemish city ​​of Bruges ( Bruges in French ), which Gaston visited in autumn 1357 before moving on to the Teutonic Order to support it on a trip to Prussia .

In 1360 the parish was named Brutges in the parish files . In the Béarn census of 1385 a total of 52 households (with three households in Capbis) were counted in Brudges and noted that the municipality is in the Bailliage of Nay .

In the first half of the 16th century the church and its bell tower were built. In 1583 203 houses were listed in the municipality register. During the Third Huguenot War , the church was set on fire by Protestant troops in 1569 . The bell tower, the entrance portal and the holy water font survived the destruction. In 1600 the Catholic denomination was reintroduced and the church restored. In 1675, 254 houses were counted, including two houses by Cagots , a group of people who were discriminated against in Spain and France from the 13th to well into the 19th century and who were largely excluded from social life. The carpentry trade , as in this case, was allowed to them.

In 1774 a flood of the Landistou and a stream flowing towards it tore away all bridges. In the second half of the 18th century, the region experienced a boom through the manufacture of lawn , a coarse brown woolen material made from locally produced wool and flax . In 1782 there were 262 houses in Bruges. Two cholera epidemics in the region in 1834 and 1855 left 200 victims in Bruges. At the end of the 19th century the artisanal production of sandals developed . It was subsequently industrialized into three factories and homework, and peaked in the 1920s. In the 1960s a slow decline in the production of sandals ended and was partially replaced by the establishment of a light metal industry.

Capbis

On April 6, 1127, Gaston IV. , Called the Crusader , Viscount of Béarn, founded the Sauvelade monastery between Orthez and Navarrenx . One of the most dependent on this monastery granges has been used in a place that after the river Cap deü Beez ( German  head of the Beez ) was called, according to Pierre de Marcas book Histoire de Béarn in the same century as Cabbis known. The 133 hectare property was taken when the Asson parish was established. In 1235 the grangie appeared in manuscripts as Grangia Capbisii . In the 1385 census, three households were counted in L'espitau de Capbiis , which suggests that a pilgrims' hostel for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago had now been set up in this settlement.

During the Reformation in 1569 and 1599, the Grangie Capbiis was confiscated and sold. Jacques de Boyer, Commendatarabbot of Sauvelade and canon of the Saint-Étienne Cathedral in Toulouse , decided in 1651 to reside on the Grangie in order to upgrade it and to prevent the undisturbed use of the land by the neighboring communities since the Reformation. They did not put up with this for long and Jacques Boyer was killed on October 25, 1663 by 16 paid murderers.

Mifaget

Paul Raymond, archivist and historian of the 19th century, noted the mention of Mifaget as Medium-Faget in documents in 1100. In 1131 Gaston IV. , Called the Crusader , Viscount of Béarn, founded the Commandery of Mieyhaget under the aegis of the Augustinians of the Abbey of Santa Cristina of Somport in Spain . It was established with a pilgrims' hostel to receive pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago to Santiago de Compostela .

Further toponyms were subsequently Faied (12th century, copy book by Lescar ), Medius-Fagetus (1257, manuscript collection by André Duchesne ), Mieyfaget (1287, contracts from the notary Barrère), l'espitau de Mieyfayet (1385, census in Béarn: 3 households), Myfaget (1538), Mieyhaget ( Reformation of Béarn), Saint-Michel de Mieyhaget (1678, incorporation of the parish into the Diocese of Oloron ).

During the Reformation from 1560 to 1599, the lands of the Commandery were in the meantime converted into an estate that went to the Barons of Coarraze . On the map of Cassini 1750, Mifaget is marked as Mihaget . The Barnabites of Lescar gave the people of Mifaget autonomy and administrative regulation on March 15, 1752 . The 30 or so families were able to buy the land from the former commandery. During the French Revolution in 1793, the community was still run as Mi Faget , and eight years later as Mifaget during the French Consulate .

Population development

After a provisional peak in the number of inhabitants in the first half of the 19th century with over 1800 inhabitants, the number fell to under 1500 by the First World War . Then a significant decrease of around 50% set in until the 1960s. The size of the population has since moved in a stable range between 800 and 950.

Attractions

Parish Church of Saint Martin
Entrance to the parish church
  • Parish church of Bruges-Capbis-Mifaget, dedicated to Martin of Tours . Some historians date the original church to the first half of the 16th century and the reconstruction around 1600 after it was destroyed by Protestant troops. It is certain that the bell tower, the entrance portal and the holy water stoup in the Gothic style date from this period. An extensive renovation took place between 1902 and 1904. The apse and the two side chapels were built, the nave lengthened, the walls raised, the ribbed vault created, the wall openings adjusted, the buttresses repaired and the interior improved. The stained glass windows are works by Mauméjean stained glass from 1904. Two paintings , dated from modern times, show the patron saint donating his coat and the upbringing of Mary by her mother, St. Anne .
  • Chapel in Mifaget, dedicated to the Archangel Michael . The construction of the church in 1128 is attributed to Gaston IV. Until the end of the Middle Ages it belonged to the pilgrim hostel of the Abbey of Santa Cristina of Somport. It has an apse with capitals in the shape of a triumphal arch and a crypt , the only one in the Béarn. Built in the 13th century, it benefits from natural light from the small wall openings in the apse. It measures 5 m in diameter and 3 m high and is dedicated to St. Plouradou, who is said to have been given the gift of healing tearful children. The double capital under the altar of the crypt shows a winged figure representing the patron saint of the church or St. Plouradou. Over the centuries, families gathered and gave their children's clothing as a votive offering . In order to develop the effect, the children had to touch the capital, which explains the damage to the nose of the sculpture. The entrance of the church to the south is adorned with an archivolt with cherubs with expressive smiles and outspread wings. Its tympanum is decorated with a Christ monogram . Around 1890 the church was rebuilt and added a bell tower and a baptistery .
  • Notre-Dame chapel in Capbis. The original church was built in 1127 when the former parish was founded. From 1768 to 1768 it was completely rebuilt. Around 1870 the nave was enlarged, around 1889 the south aisle and the octagonal sacristy were added as an extension of the apse.
  • Saléza Castle. Albert Saléza, born in Bruges, returned to his hometown and built a castle that bears his name. It is located on a hill south of Bruges with a panoramic view of the Pyrenees. It was built between 1880 and 1890 in the historic style on the site of a traditional Bearner house. Two towers were built behind the house, a larger one in the northwest with loopholes and a smaller one in the southwest with a slate roof .

Some farmers practice traditional cattle raising in summer. The good water quality of the Béez allows trout to be farmed. The municipality has remained a supplier to the aviation and automotive industries. The service sector and a developing tourism are the main economic factors of the municipality.
