history
The history goes back a long way, as evidenced by foundations identified in aerial photographs, as well as due to an accumulation of pebbles in the ground. In the Middle Ages it was a manor of a rather smaller size, which was subordinate to the Commandery of the Order of Malta of Caubin and Morlaàs , who exercised jurisdiction in the village. In the 1385 census , five houses were counted and the village was part of the Bailliage of Pau.

Attractions
- Parish church dedicated to Martin of Tours . There was a chapel in Serres-Morlaàs since the Middle Ages . The members of the parish still had to go to Morlaàs to take part in church events. After the French Revolution , around 1810, it was decided to build an own church. The current church was built in the second half of the 19th century to the west of the previous chapel, which was demolished at the same time. The church was restored around 1903. Its single nave nave is closed off in the west by a bell tower above the entrance porch. Five stained glass windows are works by Mauméjean stained glass from 1867. They show depictions of the motifs ' Salvator mundi ' and ' Immaculate Conception ' as well as Saints Martin, Peter and Joseph .
