Moustey is a French municipality with 695 inhabitants (at January 1, 2017) in the department of land in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine (before 2016: Aquitaine ). The municipality belongs to the arrondissement of Mont-de-Marsan and the canton of Grands Lacs (until 2015: canton of Pissos ).
The name in the Gascognischen language is Mosteir (s) . It probably goes back to the name of a property made up of the Latin word muscardu ( German bird of prey ) and the Aquitaine suffix -itz . Another theory says that the name arose from the old French moustier , which in turn developed from the vulgar Latin monasterium ( German monastery ).
The inhabitants are called Mousteyais and Mousteyaises or Mousteyens and Mousteyennes .

history
The story took its course in the community without it being heard through a major event, until 1857, when the law of June 19th prescribed the afforestation of the land and the traditional agriculture and grazing. It was the beginning of the development of forestry throughout the department and the decline in livestock farming. At the end of the 19th century Moustey had six sawmills , factories for processing tree resin and two important glassworks . In 1965, the former community of Biganon was incorporated.
Moustey was the end point on the railway line of the Compagnie des voies ferrées des Landes , which connected Moustey to Ychoux and thus to the main line from Bordeaux to Dax , which was opened in 1854 . The section between Ychoux and Pissos was opened on October 27, 1890, the further section to Moustey on August 13, 1905. Due to a lack of economic efficiency, passenger traffic on the non-electrified, single-track line was temporarily suspended on September 15, 1939, from 1940 to 1950 but continued to operate in order to compensate for the gaps in the railway network caused by the war. Freight traffic was finally stopped on September 1, 1979.
On February 25, 1965, the Biganon community was incorporated.
Population development
After records began, the population rose to an initial high of around 1010 by the middle of the 19th century. After a brief population decline, the size of the community rose to a high of around 1070 inhabitants at the end of the 19th century. In the following period, due to the decline of the resin industry, the number of inhabitants fell to around 520 during short recovery phases until the 1970s, before a moderate growth phase set in due to the relative proximity to the metropolitan areas, which is still ongoing today.

Attractions
Moustey's specialty is that it has two churches in the center of the parish, one behind the other, only a few meters apart. Discussions and several hypotheses deal with justification. Local tradition says that they are the result of the rivalry between two seigneurs , since Moustey was on the border of two baronates . Another, widely reliable assumption assumes that the Saint-Martin church is a parish church and the Notre-Dame church is a chapel of a former monastery . This seems plausible in view of the fact that Moustey is on one of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela and that the chapel could once belong to a hospital for the care of the pilgrims . In 1844, the Church of Notre-Dame was still called chapelle des pèlerins ( German chapel of the pilgrims ).
Parish Church of Saint Martin
The church, consecrated to Martin of Tours , was built in the 13th century. The south aisle was added in the 15th century, the north in the 19th century. The central nave is extended by a choir with a flat apse , which is supported by two buttresses on the corners of the wall. A bell gable rises from the western facade, replacing the first square bell tower . A narrow stair tower with window openings with bevelled reveals is located to the southwest in the angle between the main and side aisles. In front of the bell gable is a vestibule made of uniform quarry stone made of ferrous sandstone . The light falls into the choir through a large window with three ogival lancets in the east wall and two ogival windows in the north and south walls. At the point of the entrance to the choir, a small roof turret protrudes from the roof, which is covered with hollow tiles. The church has been inscribed as a Monument historique since June 18, 1973 .
Older elements of the furniture are the sculpted wings of the entrance door in the west from the end of the 17th or the beginning of the 18th century, a candle holder for the Easter candle , and a pair of bronze altar candlesticks from the 18th century as well as two celebrant seats and one Classicist style balloon-shaped chandelier . Most of the church furnishings come from the second half of the 19th century. On the upper part of the door, St. Martin is depicted as a bishop and the Archangel Michael in the scene in which he kicks the biblical demon with his feet. Eight glass windows from the years 1874 to 1923 are works by the glass painter Gustave Pierre Dagrant (1839–1915) from Bayonne , later Bordeaux , which were installed in several actions.
They show:
- St. Martin as bishop, surrounded by representations of the Annunciation of the Lord and the birth of Christ ,
- the archangel Michael trampling the biblical demon with his feet,
- Saint Martin again, this time as a soldier who donates his coat to the poor,
- the apostle James the Elder and St. Clarus as bishop,
- St. George who defeated the dragon,
- St. Francis of Assisi in his vision, in which he receives the lifeless body of Christ from the cross,
- Saint Vincent de Paul and
- the representation of the resurrection .
Former Notre-Dame Church
The former church was probably built in the 15th century as a chapel for a hospital on one of the Way of St. James . Your nave has two naves. The central nave is extended into a higher built and flat final choir, the apse of which is reinforced by two beveled buttresses at the corners of the wall. The wall of the north aisle is reinforced by four buttresses. A bell gable rises to the west. There are two narrow arched windows on the south side of the nave and in the choir. The arched entrance is also on the south side. The church has been inscribed as a Monument historique since July 4, 1973 . It was restored by the Landes de Gascogne Regional Nature Park and is now used as an exhibition space for local artists and craftsmen in the summer.
The church furnishings were removed except for a side altar from the second half of the 19th century. Fragments of wall paintings dated to the end of the 15th or the beginning of the 16th century are the only evidence of the former decor. They originally covered the entire walls of the flat choir. A dummy masonry forms the background on the painted surface. The relief effect is achieved by white lines on red or black surfaces. Scenes from Genesis are told on the walls . On the southern wall the moment of original sin with the tempted Adam and Eve and their expulsion from paradise are shown. A procession of praying men and women, monks and a bishop can be seen on the north wall . The paintings were discovered in 1987 and restored in 1989 by the painter Jean Poydenot from Mont-de-Marsan.
Community foyer
_salle_des_f%C3%AAtes.JPG)
The foyer is intended as a place for community education and as a leisure center for the community's youth. It was built between 1937 and 1939 according to plans by the architect Franck Bonnefous in the style of "local modernism ", inspired by local Basque-Landaise architecture. The building is made of concrete with a roof covered with monk and nun tiles. A monumental vestibule, framed by smooth columns , leads to the entrance and is reminiscent of the canopy of a traditional Basque house. Above the entrance, the artist Lucien Danglade created a bas-relief as well as the cornice of the vestibule.

sport and freetime
- The long-distance hiking trail GR 655 leads through the center of Moustey. It follows the Via Turonensis , one of the four Way of St. James in France. A milestone was set in front of the former Notre-Dame church in 2001 on the initiative of Jean-Pierre Dennery, who completed the path several times. The sculptor Vladimir Nikolski used a stone from a baptismal font in the neighboring municipality of Belhade. The number “1000” symbolizes the distance that a pilgrim still has to cover to Santiago de Compostela. On the initiative of the municipality and the Societé Landaise des Amis de St Jacques , a local artist was commissioned to create a sculpture depicting a pilgrim. With regard to the material, his choice fell on the trunk of a pine tree that fell in the storm in 2009. The statue has been not far from the milestone since 2010.
- Moustey is located in the Landes de Gascogne Regional Nature Park.
- A short one kilometer walk leads through the pine forest to the confluence of the Grande and Petite Leyre rivers.
