The Romanesque chapel was built on the orders of the Viscount of Béarn, Gaston IV, known as the Crusader (1090-1130), upon his return from the First Crusade. It was entrusted to the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem and experienced its heyday until the mid-16th century, when the Wars of Religion broke out. Inside, behind the beautiful Gothic arches, we can see the tomb with the figure of a medieval knight. On the outside, the details of the capitals are worth seeing.

A 12th-century historical monument, the chapel was saved by the association "Les Amis de Caubin" in 1966, who completed its restoration in 1974. Musical events have been held there since. Note that picnic tables and an oratory are located on the other side of the road.
