coat of arms
The coat of arms is divided into four fields and can be interpreted as follows, according to Guy Ascarat , heraldist and historian: The field at the top left shows a bridge, possibly of Roman origin, which is located at the entrance to the village. The stars symbolize the districts. The black eagle at the top right commemorates the King of Navarre , who owned a forest of walnut trees near Aincille in the 13th century . The cow and sheep on the lower left are reminiscent of pasture farming in the Laurhibar valley. The church at the bottom right shows the village church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie et Saint-Jean-Baptiste .
Attractions
- The church, in honor of the Assumption of Mary and John the Baptist , was probably built in the 12th century and extensively remodeled during the 18th and 19th centuries. Only the west portal dates from the original construction period. Inside the single-nave building there are galleries like those found in all churches in the Basque Country. These are traditionally reserved for men during a fair . Access is provided by two stairs, one inside and one outside. The stained glass windows are works by the glass master Henri Gesta from Toulouse from 1923 and 1930. The processional cross dates from the 18th century.
- Calvary in the shape of a simple stone cross.
- The Idiondoa farm is a typical example of a rural settlement in the Basque Country. The courtyard was built in 1617, as indicated by an engraving on the lintel of the window in the middle of the first floor. During the 19th century the building was restored and extended.
