An engraved Paschal lamb with its banner can be seen on the portal of the Faderne des Angles. According to oral tradition, the house located on the heights of the village was once the castle chapel; it was partially destroyed during the Wars of Religion, then converted into a faderne and later into a presbytery.

Culture
The 17th- and 18th-century Église Saint-Étienne has a bell-gable and is listed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments. Its interior contains 18th-century furnishings, including a tripartite altarpiece framed by twisted columns and a tabernacle. The furnishings were added to the supplementary inventory of historic monuments in December 2002. The two gilded wooden angels beside the entrance to the choir are attributed to the workshop of Marc and Jean Ferrère.
History
The Château des Angles stands on a wooded hill. Its cylindrical keep was built around 1300 by one of the oldest noble families of Bigorre. The Moulin La Mole du Castet was built in 1734 at the foot of the seigneurial castle and has a wheat mill and a maize mill. Individual tours are listed for the Moulin La Mole du Castet.
The current access road to the Château des Angles is relatively recent; in the past, the castle was reached from the village via a steep path.
