Dismantled after the Treaty of Paris in 1229, there remained however the courtroom, the registry and the chapel.

It was here that, in 1577, Jean Constans and Guichard de Scorbiac were appointed by the Protestants to represent them at the Peace Conference and that in 1581 the Protestant General Assembly met in the presence of the King of Navarre.
