Attractions
- The church, dedicated to John the Baptist , is one of the oldest in the Soule region. It was built in the Romanesque style during the Christianization of the Basque Country in the 11th century . Under the porch at the entrance five disc-shaped tombstones from the 17th century are placed as steles , which are often found in the other two Basque provinces of Labourd and Lower Navarra , but rarely in Soule. Such steles replaced traditional tombstones in the 16th and 17th centuries . The elements of their engraving can reveal something about the life of the dead.
- Since the village is on the Way of St. James, it is not surprising to find a calvary at the end of the village, here in the form of a stone cross.
Economy and Infrastructure
The economy is mainly determined by agriculture (sheep and cattle breeding and corn cultivation).
Ainharp is located in the AOC areas of Ossau-Iraty , a traditionally made semi-hard cheese made from sheep's milk, the pig breed and the ham "Kintoa".
