Nerbis, a small village perched at the edge of a plateau overlooking the left bank Adour, owes its origins to its strategic importance due to its position as the promontory (prehistoric cave-mound-human bones, pottery shards, flint-polished ax-tooling of the stone age)

Thus, its little church, which originated in the eleventh century, stands in the center of a camp protected on three sides by steep natural slope. This enclosure dated to the Bronze Age was an oppidum, said "camp Nerbis "or" Muy ", reinforced and strengthened during the fifth century by a ditch lined with earthen rampart located southeast unprotected naturally (being the site what experts call a spur line through it)
Today buried under the vegetation, this rampart, with an average height of 8 m inland, much more from the bottom of the ditch about 45m short, necessitating the movement of a huge land mass. After a fairly regular platform in front of this gap, a second wall or embankment to the east, also seems to block the plate. We must assume that the rest of the enclosure was defended by a berm and fence. The existence of this fortification is confirmed, in 1008, the adjective of castello associated Nerbis (Nerbis castello, now Nerbis-Castets)
The church is all that remains of a Benedictine priory mentioned mentioned from 1009 and destroyed in 1862 (still some remnants - the cemetery gate-mullioned windows and a door portion in Gothic the wall of a nearby building).
Partly destroyed during the Hundred Years War, then rebuilt (the base of the square tower dated XIV century), burned again during the wars of religion, repaired in 1660, it is classified a historical monument.
