Mauvezin was founded by the English king as a bastide on a stretch of land that had been abandoned by the Viscounts of Juliac. In 1926 the community was given the addition of "d'Armagnac".
Population development
After a peak in the number of inhabitants of around 330 in the first half of the 19th century, the size of the community subsequently fell to around 85 with interim recovery phases by the turn of the millennium, before a moderate phase of growth began.

Attractions
Parish Church of Notre-Dame
According to Maurice Romieu's book Histoire de la vicomté de Juliac from 1894, there was the first chapel , which Count Rodolphe Amauvin had built in Mauvezin in 1026 and which was already consecrated to Mary . At the beginning of the 12th century it was given to the Abbey of La Sauve-Majeure by Arnaud-Guillaume, his son Gaubert and his wife Rama . The donation was renewed on March 5, 1133 by Bonhomme, Bishop of Aire, in favor of Abbot Pierre d'Amboise. In June of the previous year, the same bishop provided the site with a cemetery and the chapel with a baptismal font . The chapel eventually became the parish church of the community and quickly the Priory of Gabarret connected. Several modifications were made, presumably on the same foundations as the current apse , which still shows a Romanesque style. After the building was badly damaged in the Hundred Years War , the church was restored and enlarged in the course of the 16th century. The large southern side chapel, a donation of the Seigneurs , could be dated from 1500 to 1520 due to the traces of wall painting . The ribbed vault of the nave could be partially or completely been renovated in the 1555th In 1569, during the Huguenot Wars , the church was set on fire by Protestant troops led by Captain Baudignan. The pastor Pierre Gaillères was killed in front of the main altar . In the middle of the 17th century, the half-destroyed building was partially demolished, but certain walls were rebuilt in the following century using the original materials and according to the original plans. The narrow side chapels originate from this construction activity. The only addition is in the form of the vestibule and was built in the middle of the 17th century in front of the western facade.
This porch was built at the foot of the triangular bell gable . This is interrupted by three arched openings, its edges are designed in the shape of steps. The only nave opens over arcades on four consecutive narrow side chapels. The choir opens into a semicircular apse. The nave , choir and apse have a ribbed vault on half-columns that are of Romanesque origin. At the level of the second bay of the nave, a larger side chapel is built to the south, which is extended to the east by the sacristy at the level of the third bay. The building is made of limestone quarry stone with the exception of the nave, which shows a regular masonry bond. The plastering has recently been removed.
Few of the older elements have survived after the church was sacked by Protestant troops. These include six keystones , one of which is engraved with the year “1555” and applied with black paint, and some fragments of the wall painting of the south side chapel from the beginning of the 16th century. The keystones are monoliths with the exception of the stone in the apse, the perforated border of which may have been added. The clue for the dating of the wall painting is the dress of a depicted praying woman, which was worn during the reigns of Louis XII. (1498–1515) and Francis I (1515–1547) were fashionable. The very fragmented scene obviously shows a saint or a divine person on a throne with two people kneeling below. Older items of equipment are a baptismal font from the 17th or 18th century, a holy water font with goddess from the 18th century, an altar painting from 1739 and a pulpit from the 18th or 19th century. The rest of the furnishings date from the beginning of the 19th century at the earliest.
Briat Castle
The castle was built by the Albret family in the second half of the 16th century. Henry IV stayed here on his rides through Gascony. The simple building was rebuilt in the 17th century and now consisted of a rectangular residential wing, which was flanked in the northwest by a round tower, in the southwest by a rectangular pavilion with an internal staircase and a weir to defend the entrance. The tower and pavilion were also fitted with loopholes . The castle was expanded in the 18th century. A room on the ground floor of the residential wing is decorated with wallpaper from the Second Empire , which reminds of Henry IV's stays in the palace. The buildings of the 18th century contain u. a. a reception room covered with paneling . The current interior decor of the castle dates from the 19th century. The park is enhanced by a fountain whose niches are decorated with shells. Its fluted pilasters have Corinthian order capitals . On the west side of the castle there are various outbuildings, including a cellar. The castle itself is not open to the public and has been registered as a Monument historique since June 22, 1990 . Stéphane de Luze, the current owner of the castle, is the fifth generation to produce Armagnac . Eight of the fifty hectares of the castle estate are intended for this. The winery can, however, be visited.
