history
A fortified camp from prehistory in today's Curquou district on a hill above the valley of the season documents an early settlement of the area. The history of the municipality is closely linked to the construction of a ferry over the season in the Middle Ages to allow pilgrims to cross the river on the Camino de Santiago to Santiago de Compostela . In Nabas there was a lay monastery , vassal of the Viscount of Bearn. In the course of the 16th century, the practice of witchcraft drove the village. In 1536 five women who had been recognized as witches were hanged on the instructions of the landlord of Méritein . At that time, the fiefs of Nabas and Méritein were linked. In March 1646 Nabas was raised to a baronate . It was subordinate to the Viscount of Béarn and, in addition to Nabas, included the village of Bisqueis, which today belongs to Charre . This award was controversial in the assembly of estates des Béarn, which subsequently made a cancellation. In the 19th century, Nabas became a center for treating diseases with thermal water.

Attractions
- Parish church dedicated to Lawrence of Rome . As with numerous churches in the region, the parish church of Nabas was rebuilt in the 17th century after it was destroyed by Protestant troops in the Huguenot Wars . The single-nave nave is accessed via the entrance porch below the bell tower . The two-leaf wooden entrance door fits into a pointed arch with a stone frame. Each door leaf has two panels with a diamond that surrounds a rosette in the middle . The tympanum above the door is lavishly decorated with friezes and other decorative patterns. The bell tower was restored around 1895 after being damaged by a lightning strike. His slate-roofed helmet is decorated with four roof turrets at the corners . At the same time a side chapel was added to the nave. Stained glass windows with representations of personalities and ornaments are signed by the glass painter Louis Gesta from Toulouse and date from 1900 and 1903. The altarpiece from the 18th century is made of painted and gilded wood, an oil painting shows Christ crucified in the middle .
