history
On the site of a Gallo-Roman military camp , the village developed around a mound castle surrounded by ditches in the Middle Ages . From the records of the census in 1385, we learn that the castle was subsequently used as a residence by the abbot of the lay monastery . In this census were in Croselhes 15 households counted and belonging to the Bailliage of Lembeye recorded.
Other toponyms and mentions of Crouseilles were Crozelha (14th century, census in the Béarn) and Crodselhes (1546, manuscript collection des Béarn).
In the 18th century the community's economy revolved around the production of quality wines. In the 19th century there was an upswing in the trade in woodwork 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 had to live separately from the other residents.
On the map of Cassini 1750, the municipality is registered as Crouseille , was listed as Crouzeilles during the French Revolution in 1793 , eight years later during the French Consulate as Croseilles and finally as Crouseilles .

Attractions
- Local church dedicated to John the Baptist . Romanesque parts of today's church, such as the walls of the building and the semicircular apse with a vaulted ceiling, date back to the 12th century. The church has retained the Romanesque structure even after extensive renovations in the 18th century. It is believed that the aisle and the bell tower were built as an entrance porch around 1781, as evidenced by the year engraved on the keystone above the entrance door. Many of the church's furnishings date from the 17th to 19th centuries and are registered as national cultural assets.
- Castle of the Crouseilles. 1737 bought Jean de Dombidau, a wealthy merchant from Oloron , the basic rule of Crouseilles and decided to build the existing, simple lock again. The new castle, inscribed on the map of Karte von Cassini, was built in 1753 and remained in the family's possession until around 1870. It is a two-story building, the residential wing is framed by two pavilions and covered with a so-called Genoise roof. Below the slate roof, there are three rows of roof tiles to keep rainwater off the facade. Today the chateau is owned by the local cooperative winery that markets AOC Madiran , Béarn and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh wines .

Agriculture, especially viticulture, is still the most important economic factor today. Crouseilles is located in the AOC zones of the Béarn, Madiran and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh wine-growing areas.
