The benoîterie of Arbonne is a construction of pure Labourdin style. It takes the form of a neat, rectangular house, built on two levels, with a simple and harmonious volume but of small size. It is traditionally oriented towards the East. Generally speaking, the benediction is part of an inseparable religious and sacred complex : church-cemetery-benediction-presbytery. The oldest date found concerning one of the benediction dates from 1651. It currently hosts a different artist each month from April to December.

The parish belonged to the Viscounts of Labourd in the 12th century. From the 12th century, the church had a gabled bell tower with arcades and a portal, while a second portal opened on the south side of the building, which ended in a flat chevet. Tradition has it that this portal, with its external holy water font, was reserved for the cagots, a population considered inferior in Basque society. In the 15th century, a staircase was added to the south façade to access the galleries. In the 17th century, the church was enlarged, on the east side by an apse with canted sides and buttresses; on the west side by a porch. The church was used as a prison in 1794 and was returned to worship in 1795. The porch houses the tombstones of the parish priests who were originally in the choir in the 17th and 18th centuries.
