OUSTEY AND ITS TWO CHURCHES
Moustey The village has a special little town. Indeed, two churches are everywhere, a few meters from each other, one behind the other: the parish church of St. Martin, the largest, and Notre Dame. .... and therefore better than Colombey! The origin of this strange rapprochement remains controversial and several hypotheses have been proposed to justify it by local incentives:
Local tradition sees the result of rivalry between two lords (Moustey being at the limit of two baronies) vying for supremacy to offices, or at least the consequences of popular hatred (the south wall of the church Notre Dame has a walled-up door pretending to access reserved for lepers called bigots)
More reasonably, one may think it is a parish church and chapel monastic Moustey front of his name the former French monastery
, from the popular Latin
monasterium
.
The parish church built in the XIII century stone and "garluche" (alias), has been enlarged by a low north side in the Gothic style in the late fifteenth century (the bottom side is north of the nineteenth).
The Notre Dame, called pilgrims, in Romanesque style but after the previous one, dated XV century, the chapel would be dependent on a hospital or hospice for pilgrims of Saint Jacques de Compostela . She was surrounded by civic buildings still visible on the Napoleonic cadastre could be the old priory. Besides, a house neighbor has disappeared had kept the name of the locality 
Houspitaou . This small hospital was demolished in 1872.
After the discovery of wall paintings in the plaster in 1985, the church was restored by the Regional Park of Landes de Gascogne, and hosted a time, a space devoted to religious heritage and popular beliefs Landes.

This unique four-Gothic arcaded porch with no roof, and covered with a flattened roof, is located at the roadside, opposite the Post Office. It has a cross to which we once went in procession on Palm Sunday, hence its name
Palm Cross.
