history
Moncaup developed in the Middle Ages on the border to Bigorre as a so-called castelnau . A Castelnau ( German Neuburg , Occitan castèl nòu , in Vulgar Latin castellum novum ) is a village or town that was founded near a mound castle . A development spurt resulted from the location on one of the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela . A hospital was set up to receive and care for the passing pilgrims under the direction of the Order of Malta of Caubin and Morlaàs . The 1385 census counted 52 households in Moncaup, including that of the hospital commander. The village was part of the Lembeye Bailliage . Due to its geographical location, Moncoup repeatedly got into conflicts of interest in the neighboring territories, e. B. 1415 between the houses of Béarn and Armagnac . Subsequently, however, Moncaup became the seat of an important market which had been approved by Catherine of Navarre , which helped the size of Moncaup to a further boost. In the 16th century, today's municipality of Monpezat belonged to Moncaup. In 1675 there were already 135 households in Moncaup.
Toponyms and mentions of Moncaup were:
- Mont-Caup (1343, manuscript of 1343),
- Moncaub (1402, census in the Béarn),
- Moncamp and Sainte-Luce de Moncaup (1546 and 1680, respectively, manuscript collection from the 16th to 18th centuries) and
- Moncaup (1750, map by Cassini ).
Population development
After two highs of the population of around 830 in the first half and in the middle of the 19th century, the number fell to a level of around 160 during short recovery phases by the 1970s, which is still held today.

Attractions

- Parish Church of Moncaup, dedicated to Lucia of Syracuse . The simple previous building was built during the Middle Ages and before the center of the municipality was formed. Although it was renovated in 1860, it was demolished in 1901 because the community deemed it too remote from the center. The current church was built between 1903 and 1906 as a replacement. Its three-aisled nave is closed with a bell tower with a square helmet . Six stained glass windows from the early 20th century are the work of the glass painter Pierre Arcencam, two are from the first half of the same century and come from the Mauméjean stained glass company . Many other items of furniture date from the 18th and 19th centuries and are registered as national cultural assets.
- Castle of Moncaup. It was built at the end of the 17th century, at a time of greatest prosperity and prosperity for the community. From then on, the manorial property belonged to Jean de Laborde, a doctor who was raised to the nobility in 1655. It remained in the possession of the Laborde-Montpezat family until 1730. On Cassini's map of 1750, it is entered under the name Moncaup . The castle consists of two buildings that are arranged in an L-shape. They have high hip roofs that are covered with small flat tiles. The castle cannot be visited.
- Floris Castle. It was also built towards the end of the 17th century and got its name from its first owner. In 1675 it belonged to the Tarrides-Floris family, then it became the property of the Tarride-Lomagne family, after the French Revolution to the Duviau family. The latter probably had it rebuilt towards the end of the 18th century because it bears the year “1797” and the initials “PD” on the gable . It is entered under the name Floris on Cassini's map from 1750 . Another date “1841” on the wrought-iron railing of the loggia allows the extension of the eastern wing to be dated. The castle is now a winery and cannot be visited.
