Morlanne Discover a charming Béarn village and its medieval treasures

Morlanne is a medieval village, now a thousand years old. Its origins date back to feudal times, but it was only during the Hundred Years' War, and when Gaston Fébus chose Morlanne as a defensive stronghold (because the English were very close at Arzacq), that the village began to take shape.
The village then consisted of two settlements: one around the castle, the "castetbieilh," and the other around the church. Gaston Fébus had the castle road built to control the population census. This part of the village was then called the "castelnau." He fortified the village and the church, which became an integral part of the village's defenses.
The village is not lacking in riches! A brochure takes you to discover the 14th century fortified castle, the main street characterized by its construction typical of new towns in the Middle Ages (also called "carrère"), washhouse fountains, the fortified church of the 13th century, as well as the Belluix house (built at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century).
