Osse-en-Aspe, the oldest village in this Bedous basin, is located on the left bank, at the foot of the Layens, on the edge of the Laricq stream. The commune is remarkable for its architecture and especially its reformed church, nicknamed "la Montagne". This village is one of the few examples of peaceful coexistence between Catholics and Protestants during the Wars of Religion. The two religions live together in the commune. The first pastors, including Gassiot La Tourette, were born in the village and since 1572, when the parish of Osse was created, only Protestants have the right to live in the village. The cult takes place in the church of Saint-Etienne (a very beautiful Romanesque building, the oldest parts of which date from the late 12th century, renovated in the 17th and 18th centuries), which serves as a temple. In 1620, the Bethel temple was built with its stone engraved on the pediment. This building, destroyed after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, was rebuilt in 1802, fifteen years after the Edict of Tolerance. A whole story in Osse-en-Aspe.
