Discover the majestic Barony of Riudefoix, a living testament to the history of the Penedès lands, nestled at the foot of the serene Foix River. These unique properties (currently a total of 3 residences), with more than 2,000 m² built and 5,000 m² of land, stand surrounded by lush nature where the passage of the river and the song of the nightingale resonate.
History and character
Since the 12th century, the Barony of Riudefoix has been a stately possession: a jurisdictional domain granted to the baron, with the right to appoint a permanent bailiff and with cultivated lands. The main nucleus —the basilical-style farmhouse— has its origin in a mill mentioned as early as July 2, 1086.
Featured architectural elements
Robust walls with buttresses: testimony to its medieval fortified function.
The house preserves several original portals and arches: a large segmental arch on the ground floor with chamfered edges, a voussoir portal giving access to the cellar, a small semicircular portal on the staircase, a noble entrance with a ogee arch and floral stucco moldings in the hall, and a main semicircular portal crowned with a heraldic helmet.
Chapel of Sant Llorenç within the grounds, whose remains of the bell tower are still visible from the outside of the roof (still no photographs available).
