Tower Palace in Las Merindades

We present a unique property on the market, a monumental historic complex composed of a 16th century Tower, an 18th century Palace, a private Chapel, interior courtyards, and extensive landscaped grounds, totaling an approximate built area of 1,670 m², on a plot of 1,163.50 m².

A property with soul and distinction

The Tower, originally built as a defensive structure in the 12th century and rebuilt as a manor residence in the 16th century by the Marquis of Alvarado and his wife, María de Velasco (noble lineage linked to the Duke of Frías and the Constable of Castile), is now an exquisite example of Castilian Renaissance architecture. It is distributed over four floors, with an area of 413.95 m², standing out for its ground floor that houses a chapel with ribbed vaults and a symbolic Calatrava cross at the central keystone. Access to the tower is through a molded semicircular arch, with historic windows with grilles and original inscriptions from the 16th century.

The Palace, attached to the tower and built in 1784 by the Marquis of Rivaherrera, totals 1,254.70 m² distributed over three floors, connected by an elegant double arcade that leads to a cozy entrance hall.

Both buildings are declared Cultural Heritage Sites and protected by national decree as part of the Catalog of Castles of Spain, guaranteeing their preservation and exclusivity.

Currently operating as a hotel.

After a rigorous rehabilitation completed in 2007, the complex now operates as an exclusive charming inn, with:

11 rustic-design suites carefully decorated

Gourmet restaurant with capacity for 60 diners

Café-bar

Rooms for events and private meetings

Large terrace overlooking the garden

An independent apartment with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living-dining room with integrated kitchen (open concept)

Open-plan multifunctional space of 240 m² on the upper floor

A destination for authorities and kings

This property was a stopping and resting place for illustrious figures such as Emperor Charles V, who spent the night here after arriving in Laredo, and King Ferdinand VII. It also houses an original document from Pope Julius III, granting permission to celebrate masses in the private chapel, all of which reinforces the symbolic, historical, and spiritual character of the property.

An exclusive investment, an irreplaceable piece.

Ideal for those looking for a boutique hotel project, a unique private residence, or an institutional representation headquarters, this historic complex combines architecture, legacy, art, and comfort in an incomparable setting.
