history
The name of the parish was first mentioned in the records in 1072. At that time it was a fiefdom of the monastery in Saint-Sever . In the 13th century, the village came under English rule, despite resistance from the local landlords . Anyone who is the English King Henry III. not subjugated, was expropriated, his castle was razed and, on the orders of Pope Innocent IV, excommunicated .
Legends surround the name of the community. One says that after the battle of Tours and Poitiers a defeated Arab leader settled in the village area. A sculpture in the shape of a golden goat was enthroned in front of the camp of his army . Before his last stand, the general buried his treasures. As he subsequently fell in battle, he took the secret of his hiding place with him. The second legend relates to Jeanne d'Albret , whose carriage got stuck while passing through the village. The luggage had to be unloaded and stored securely against theft. Everything could be recovered except for a precious golden goat.
Population development
After records began, the population rose to a high of around 380 by the middle of the 19th century. In the following period, the size of the community fell to around 170 inhabitants during short recovery phases until the 1990s, before a moderate growth phase began, which is still today persists.

Attractions
Parish Church of Saint-Loup
The first church was a branch church of Morganx and was set on fire in 1569 during the Huguenot Wars by Protestant troops under the command of Captains de Salles and Sénégas. The current church, consecrated to St. Lupus von Sens , was built between April 1888 and March 1890 on the site of former fortifications according to plans by the architect Isidore Dandieu. The bell tower above the vestibule was added a little later in 1893. It was built from plastered limestone and covered with hollow bricks with the exception of the octagonal tower spire , which is covered with slate . The nave with a main nave with a length of four bays adjoins the anteroom and is flanked in the north by a baptistery and in the south by a staircase that leads up to the gallery . Two side chapels form a false transept and open to the crossing . Two sacristies are located on the sides of the three-walled choir . The nave and choir are covered with false ribbed vaults. All windows are pointed arched . Sloping buttresses surround the church building. The capitals inside the church are not carved.
Sixteen stained glass windows were probably made in 1890 when today's church was built. They do not carry signature and differ from the works in other churches of the Chalosse. Because of its resemblance to a window in the parish church of Gousse , signed by Louis Saint-Blancat of Toulouse , all the windows in the church are attributed to this stained glass painter .
In addition to geometric representations, they show the following biblical people, motifs and symbols:
- the good shepherd ,
- the patron saint of the church, St. Lupus von Sens, as bishop with crosier and book,
- the secondary patron saint, Saint Vincent of Xaintes, the first bishop of Dax , with a crook and palm,
- Saint Joseph with a lily,
- the representation of the immaculate conception ,
- Symbols of the litany , morning star , mystical rose, David's citadel , gate of heaven , golden house and ark of the covenant ,
- the heart of jesus ,
- the Immaculate Heart of Mary and
- the coat of arms of Victor Jean-Baptiste Paulin Delannoy, Bishop of Aire and Dax , framed by six yokes with leaf motifs in grisaille .
The equipment of the church was almost completely renewed with the construction of the new building. Only the two bells, made in 1868 by the bell-maker Malet de Samadet, and the 18th-century pulpit , some of which still remain today, have been reused. The described and many other fixtures and fittings in the church date from the 18th to 20th centuries and are registered as national cultural assets.
Six statues made of painted plaster are remarkable . They are 135 cm high, date from the first half of the 20th century and are from the production of François-Dominique Monna from Toulouse. They stand on pedestals on the inner walls and represent the following saints:
- Rochus of Montpellier as a pilgrim, together with his attribute, the dog,
- Lupus of Sens, as a bishop with a crook and pen,
- Vincent of Xaintes, as bishop with crook and blessing,
- Joan of Arc ,
- Jean-Marie Vianney , called the parish priest of Ars and
- Aloisius of Gonzaga .
