history
The center of today's community lies on a ridge at the intersection of a Roman road and an ancient connecting road. Finds from archaeological excavations confirm the existence of a Gallo-Roman building. Mosaics and sculptures have been brought into the daylight, some elements of which, such as fragments of a white marble column , stone blocks and marble slabs, have been inserted into the western facade of today's parish church. In addition, tombs on mosaics, some with marble tombs, were found in the municipality in 1907. A long, rusty sword lay in a tomb . After a local tradition existed in the 13th century Hospital of the Knights Templar . From this building there are still remains of thick walls hidden under the terrace of the castle. The 1385 census of the Béarn counted 15 households in Saint-Jean-Poudge and the village was part of the Bailliage of Lembeye .

Population development
When records began at the end of the 18th century, around 440 were counted. As a result, the community reached a level of around 300 inhabitants by the 1830s, which it was able to approximately hold up to the 1860s, before the number fell to around 65 during short recovery phases by the turn of the millennium. Then moderate growth set in.

Attractions
Parish church
The church dedicated to John the Baptist was built in the 11th century on the site of an earlier motte that covered the remains of a Gallo-Roman villa . Fragments of the villa can be identified mainly in the western facade. The church was donated to the Bishop of Lescar at the beginning of the 12th century . In the same century, the apse was rebuilt a short time later in a middle masonry bond. The vault was completed in the 15th century. During the Huguenot Wars in the 16th century, the church was converted into a horse stable and restored in the 18th century.
Today's single-nave nave measures 26 m in length and 6.70 m in width. It has narrow, arched windows. The apse has three windows and slender outer buttresses . Your frieze is embellished as a scroll frieze. On the opposite side a bell gable rises up, which is designed with a helmet with a pyramid roof. There are stonemason's marks on the facades . The entrance is on the west side, but on the north side there is another entrance that is now walled up. This was intended for the Cagots , a group of people who were discriminated against and largely excluded from social life in Spain and France from the 13th to the 19th century for reasons that are still unknown today. This access to the church, reserved for the Cagots, is evidence of exclusion also in Saint-Jean-Poudge. Inside there is a ribbed vault , in the choir a basin vault . The church preserves furnishings from the 14th to 19th centuries, which are registered as national treasures.
In the choir there is a plate on a stone in the wall that was created using the pit smelting process. It shows the Agnus Dei , a lamb carrying a cross as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus Christ . The work is carefully executed with a precise physiognomy including the woolen dress. The illustration also includes an ornament in the shape of a circle which includes a paw cross . The frame of the plate is worked out like a circumferential cord. The work comes from a time when Christ was represented as a lamb rather than a human being. Although difficult to date, it is believed to be a holdover from the early days of the sanctuary .
One of the Gallo-Roman sarcophagi that was found not far from the church is in the church itself. Although it is damaged, it gives an insight into how the deceased were buried in earlier times. It is a hollowed-out monolith with space for a corpse, which can be closed with a lid. It is not often that artifacts from a funeral of this type are kept outside museums.
The oak pulpit is hung on the north wall with paneling as a background. The ornamentation of the paneling with volutes on the sides and above the sound cover as well as the protruding bars indicate a style of the 18th century. The pulpit is similar to that in the parish church of Conchez-de-Béarn and could have been created by Caraby between 1771 and 1787. The painting on the lower surface of the sound cover shows a dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit , on a bright blue background. With its polychromy it interrupts the otherwise strict work.
The wooden confessional dates from the early 19th century. The seating area for the priest in the middle is closed by a door, the grille of which mirrors the shape of the balustrade of the railing of the staircase of the pulpit. The side parts for the believers are open and equipped with a knee bench and an armrest for praying. The curved shape of the furniture alleviates the otherwise austere character. The style corresponds to the taste of its time.
The holy water stoup probably dates from the 15th century. The large basin has a round shape and is made of a monolith that has been hollowed out irregularly. It stands on a square foot and an obviously earlier shaft of a column of Doric order .
A disc-shaped grave stele called Hilarri can be seen in the parish church cemetery . It is a rarity in the Béarn, because Hilarri are characteristic tombs in the Basque Country . Their relatively small size is exceptional. Their diameter of 28 cm only allows space for a simple Greek cross as a half-relief without a border, which does not correspond to the usual, mostly rich decorations of disc-shaped grave steles in the Basque Country. There is an inscription on the upper part of the disk, but wear and tear prevents it from being deciphered. The background of the installation of the grave stele remains in the dark, on the other hand shows the exchange between the Basque and Béarn cultures.

It was built in the late 16th or early 17th century and made a name for itself because the French King Henry IV stayed there. The land belonged to the landlord family Miossens since at least 1379, then the family Albret-Miossens, then from 1674 to the Hiton family. The castle came into the possession of the Montaut family in 1728, who kept it until the French Revolution . In the second half of the 18th century the castle was extensively remodeled and partially destroyed in the middle of the 19th century. In the 20th century, the castle was owned by the Béarn poet Bernard Baudorre.
The entrance portal with a gable dates from the early 17th century, the time of Louis XIII . In the two right-angled, two-story building sections, the stucco from the second half of the 18th century has only been preserved in the north wing. But what are known are luxurious decorative elements that are missing today, a reception room with tapestries, a room furnished with leather wallpaper , a dining room with paneling and medallions by Antoine Watteau , whose fields have since been sold. A 17th century staircase with an oak railing was moved to the Cadillon school where it is still installed today. A terrace runs around the castle building, formerly two on the Tour Ellen as projection were. Remnants of thick walls have been uncovered here, which are believed to have once belonged to the hospital of the Knights Templar.
