history
In 1907 the Roman military camp "Casterot de la Salle" was discovered on the territory of the municipality. In 1846 the previously independent municipalities of Eyres and Moncube were combined to form the new municipality of Eyres-Moncube. On the left bank of the Gabas was Eyres, a former fiefdom of the Baronate of Hagetmau . Moncube on the right bank has belonged to the Benedictines from Saint-Sever since the Middle Ages . In the 19th century, the residents lived from agriculture and cattle breeding. At that time there was also a tailor, a clog maker, a blacksmith and a manufacturer of carts and plows, a wheelwright . There were also numerous Meierhöfe in the municipality, which gradually disappeared in the 20th century.
Population development
With the amalgamation of the two former municipalities Eyres and Moncube, the new municipality had a high of around 750 inhabitants. As a result, Eyres-Moncube's size decreased to around 300 residents by the 1980s, with short recovery periods, before moderate growth began that continues to this day.

Attractions
Saint-Barthélémy parish church
The first, simple church was built in the 12th century. Through alterations and additions over the centuries, it now shows a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic style elements. Your nave with three naves is extended with a semicircular choir , which is illuminated through three arched windows. The sacristy is attached to the south of the apse . The walls of the nave are interrupted by arched windows that alternate with the buttresses on the outside . In the west, the massive bell tower overlooks the vestibule, which opens up via an arcade in the form of a pointed arch on its north side. Defensive elements such as loopholes can still be seen on the tower today . A polygonal helmet covered with slate rises up on his tent roof .
Church of the Notre-Dame de Saint-Eustase Abbey
The Eyres-Moncube Benedictine Abbey was built in 1988 according to plans by the architect Jacques de Saint-Rapt. Its square bell tower rises in the middle of the building above the chancel. Likewise, the main altar is not in the semicircular apse, as usual, but in the nave. The reason for this unusual division is that the nuns live here in seclusion. The western part of the church with the main entrance is open to the public, the eastern part is reserved for nuns. The stained glass windows are the work of the master glass painter Lestienne from Tarbes .
