Conchez-de-Béarn lies in the catchment area of the Adour River . One of its tributaries, the Lées , marks the western municipal boundary to Tadousse-Ussau and Saint-Jean-Poudge. A tributary of the Larcis , the Lisau, crosses the eastern part of the municipality.
history
The geographical location on a ridge above the Lées and Lisau valleys made it easy to defend settlement in the Middle Ages . The beginning was made with the erection of a moth , in the center of which a donjon was usually built on an artificially created mound , initially made of wood, later of stone. Palisades surrounded the area and made space for an inner courtyard behind the protective wall, in which the population could retreat in the event of an attack. In Conchez-de-Béarn, the church and cemetery are located on the site of the former courtyard and the surrounding moats are still visible today. The community has been mentioned in the scriptures since the 10th century, and in the 12th century it was converted into a so-called Castelnau . This meant an organized and systematic expansion of the settlement according to the instructions of the landlord .
In the 1385 census of the Béarn, 38 households were counted and it was noted that the village belongs to the Bailliage of Lembeye . In another census in 1402, the community was mentioned under the toponyms Conches and Conchies .
From the 16th century onwards, Conchez became the popular residence of the Bearner nobility, which many houses in the community can still attest to today. The municipality is marked as Conchez on the map by Cassini 1750 . During the French Revolution in 1790, the municipality of Conchés initially became the headquarters of a new canton, and during the French Consulate in 1801 it was run as Conches and Conchez .
On May 15, 1962, the name of the historical province was added to the previous municipality name.
Population development
After the highest number of inhabitants in the first half of the 19th century of around 550 inhabitants, the number fell by a total of around 80% during brief phases of growth until the 1980s to just over 100 inhabitants. Since then the trend has been steady to increasing.

Attractions
- Local church dedicated to Germanus von Auxerre , Bishop of Auxerre in the 5th century. The simple, original church was built just outside the city. Mentioned in the 10th century as Sanctus Geuumer de Concis , it had been given to the Abbey of Saint Vincent de Lucq since the year 1000 . In 1620 the church was in ruins and the community decided to build a new church within Castelnau, which was mentioned in the writings from 1676 onwards. Destroyed again after 1742, it was rebuilt in 1770, as indicated by the date on the keystone of the door. The new church was consecrated in December 1771 . Between 1771 and 1778 the aisle , the sacristy and the bell tower were added. Today's long building consists of a main and a side aisle. Its walls are built with materials made of sand , pebble and rubble stone , the elongated roof is covered with tiles and slate . The altarpiece in baroque style fills the whole choir from the building. The large central oil painting shows Christ crucified , with Mary on his side and the patron saint Germanus, recognizable by his miter and crook . The picture is framed by four Corinthian columns, the shafts of which imitate a red marble and stand out against the gray background. The fighters essays of the pillars there are vases with implied flames below the choir ceiling. A medallion consisting of a star and four putti heads emerges above the picture and the paneling of the altarpiece . More putti, gilded ears of wheat, grapes and falling foliage on either side of the painting underline the baroque style of the work of art, which was probably created after 1778 by Giraudy, a painter of the region. Altar and tabernacle , which were made by the same artist, are missing today. Many other furnishings in the church date from the 18th and 19th centuries and are registered as national cultural assets.
- House called Brumont Disse . In addition to this house, the Brumont family owned the Diusse castle in the neighboring parish. They received the manorial rule from the hands of the French king by a treaty on June 22, 1705 and kept it until 1830. The house was not mentioned in the census in 1736, but only in 1762, which suggests that it was built between these dates. In 1783 renovations including the installation of the chimneys took place. After 1830 the building was converted into a rectory .
- House called Brus-Sempé . The inscription "DB 1721" on the keystone of the passage reveals not only the year of construction but also the name of the owner at the time, Daniel Brus. The materials used to build the house varied widely, including sandstone , pebble, brick, and rubble . In 1738 the house was extended by a right wing including a staircase, as the inscription above the entrance shows. At the end of the 18th century the left wing and probably the rear part of the building were added. The Brus family lived in the house until the 19th century and in 1814 they witnessed the stay of the Marshal of Napoleon Bonaparte , Nicolas Jean-de-Dieu Soult , who tried the French Armée du Midi after the defeat in the Battle of Vitoria to reorganize. After Marshal Soult, his military opponent, Arthur Wellesley , who later became the Duke of Wellington , also passed this house. In the following years the post office of the community was temporarily housed in the house.
- House called Cassagnet . Jean de Curia, a lawyer in the Parliament of Navarre , probably had the house built towards the end of the 18th century. In the 19th century it came into the possession of the Adam family, later the Cassagnet family, who finally gave it its name. The house consists of two floors and an attic. The windows are designed as segmental arches, while the door is formed in a round arch. The materials used to build the house varied widely, including sandstone, pebble, brick, and rubble. A barn, a garden, a hen house and a pigsty also belong to the property.
