The municipality belongs to the arrondissement of Pau and the canton of Pays de Morlaàs et du Montanérès (until 2015: canton of Montaner ).

The name in the Gascognischen language is Sètza-Maubec . The first part of the name is derived from the Gascognic word sède , a place to rest. The origin of the second part of the name of the municipality is made up of the Gascognic words mau or mal ( German  bad ) and bec ( German  summit ) and refers to the geographical location on a hill with a steep rise.

The inhabitants are called Sedzois and Sedzoises .

history

Sedze and Maubecq merged on February 13, 1845 to form the Sedze-Maubecq municipality.

In 1960, during excavations in Maubecq, hewn flint stones were found on the area of ​​a former camp, which date from prehistory and show that the place was already inhabited in earlier times. In the same place remains of a moth from the 11th century testify that the original complex was reused in the Middle Ages . Archaeological investigations in Sedze revealed sarcophagi and Roman coins. A Roman road , called La Caussade , which connected today's Aire-sur-l'Adour with today's Lourdes , ran very close to the two villages.

In the 11th century Centulle V , Viscount of Béarn, owned the fief of Sedze, half of which he gave to the monks of the Abbey of Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre . In the 12th century Sedze belonged to one of the three vice-counts' castles of the Vic-Bilh, which Viscountess Marie gave as pledge to Alfonso II of Aragon in 1170 . A lay monastery was also mentioned during this period. In 1385 the fiefdom belonged to Guilhem Arnaud. In the same year, the Béarn census counted seventeen households in Sedze and only six in Maubecq. Both villages were in Bailliage of Montaner . The lordship of Maubecq was first mentioned in 1173 in a text as a fiefdom that belonged to the lords of Béarn-Gerderest.

Population development

The community peaked in size with around 600 inhabitants in the middle of the 19th century. As a result, the population decreased with short recovery phases until the 1960s to a level of around 200 inhabitants, which was held for a certain time before the beginning of a growth trend possibly heralded in recent times.

Attractions

Parish church in Sedze

It is dedicated to St. Julian, the first bishop of Lescar. The Romanesque church was built at the end of the 11th or beginning of the 12th century at a time when the settlement was protected by a moth. The long building is completed in the east by a flat apse on which the bell tower rises, an arrangement that is rarely found in the Béarn.

The main entrance is on the west side of the church, but another entrance can be seen on the south-east side. 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. The tympanum of the main entrance dates from the middle of the 12th century. A monogram of Christ can be seen on it. Because of its format and decorations, the tympanum has been classified as a monument historique since October 10, 1906 . The square shape of the Christ monogram is set in a trapezoidal marble block . It shows the letters Rho ("P") and Chi ("X") in the traditional way . An "S" for "Salvator" ( German  Redeemer ) is looped around the extended foot of the Rho. Alpha and Omega hang on loops on the upper arms of the chi. To the left of the Christ monogram, on the trapezoidal block, a person can be recognized as a bas-relief who is dressed in a chasuble and who is holding up a small square bell with her right hand. The right side is separated from the Christ monogram by a pearl necklace, a symbol of the division into a worldly and a heavenly world. Mary with baby Jesus is shown in the latter. Next to her, a building symbolizes the church . The access to the church, reserved for the Cagots, is not the only evidence of exclusion in Sedze as well. A stone holy water font was reserved for Cagots so that the remaining believers would not be contaminated by the holy water.

Extensive changes were made to the church in the 18th and 19th centuries. The keystone on the arch of the main entrance bears the year "1746". Still, many elements of Béarn's Romanesque art have survived through the centuries. For example, numerous capitals in the north of the single nave nave and in the choir show influences from Spain and the Languedoc . The baptismal font dates from the 12th century and was added to the list of Monuments historiques at the same time as the tympanum of the entrance. The basin with a diameter of 1.25 m is decorated with arcades on the outside , the columns of which are alternately smooth and twisted. The capitals and the round arches are unique. A frieze made of plant tendrils and rosettes beautifies the space above the arcades up to the edge of the pool. An iron grille, a work by Jean Peyré-Burgarie from 1880, covers the basin to replace an earlier wooden lid. Many other fixtures and fittings from the 19th century are registered as national treasures.

Parish church in Maubecq

The church consecrated to the Apostle Peter dates from the middle of the 18th century, as the date "1753" engraved in the bell gable attests to. The earlier 12th century Romanesque church was likely destroyed in 1569 when Protestant troops led by Gabriel de Lorges , Count of Montgomery, set fire to numerous Catholic churches during the Huguenot Wars . When the law on the separation of church and state came into force in 1905, the municipality came into their possession. It began to deteriorate until Pastor Aressy bought the church in 1913 and saved it from deterioration. The size of the building is sufficient to accommodate the parish of Maubecq. The single nave nave of today's church is extended by a semicircular apse. The altar with its reredos dates from the 17th and 18th centuries and is registered as a national cultural asset. The church is not open to the public today.

D'Augerot Castle

It is located on the territory of the former municipality of Sedze and is the former lay monastery that was converted into an estate in the late 18th century. In 1538 the lay monastery belonged to Anselme de Momas and subsequently passed through an inheritance to the Marsan family, then to the Poey family. In the 18th century the property came into the hands of the d'Augerot family through a marriage, who merged the offices of landlords and abbots of the lay monastery and retained them until the French Revolution . It is registered as a national treasure and is now privately owned.

Remains of Maubecq Castle

The medieval moth was built on the foundations of a fortification that dates back to prehistory. The artificial mound was 20 m high and 20 m in diameter and was surrounded by wide trenches. Three small hills still mark the place where the donjon was built in the 11th century . This moth, which was now surrounded by high walls, is considered to be the nucleus of Maubecq, because the church was also built within the complex.

Economy and Infrastructure

Agriculture is traditionally the most important economic factor in the municipality.
