Castle of Llaés: A Thousand-Year-Old Fortress in the Heart of CataloniaStep into history with the Castle of Llaés, a fully restored medieval fortress dating back to 919, perched high on a hill in the municipality of Ripoll, Girona. Surrounded by the unspoiled beauty of Catalonia’s pre-Pyrenean landscapes, this historic Catalan castle is not only a protected cultural landmark—it’s also a licensed luxury accommodation business, offering a unique blend of heritage, tranquility, and potential.

Key Highlights:

Documented Origins in the Year 919: One of the oldest fortifications in Catalonia, the castle played a critical role during the Carolingian period and the Christian reconquest.
Breathtaking Hilltop Location: Commanding panoramic views over the Ter Valley and surrounding mountains, in a pristine natural setting ideal for boutique tourism or private retreat.
Preserved Medieval Hamlet: The castle gave birth to a small village that still preserves its historic character.
Romanesque Church of Sant Bartomeu (11th Century): A beautifully preserved part of the estate, underscoring its spiritual and architectural legacy.
Meticulous Restoration: Recently restored using traditional materials and artisan methods to maintain the castle’s original character and authenticity.
Turnkey Business Potential: Currently operating as a tourist accommodation for cultural escapes, wellness retreats, and private group stays, with an existing tourism license and income.
Flexible Use: Perfect for those seeking a hospitality project, cultural venue, or exclusive private residence surrounded by nature and history.

A Rare Historical OpportunityOwning the Castle of Llaés means more than acquiring a property—it means becoming the guardian of a millennium of Catalan history. It offers an extraordinary chance to live or invest in a place where time stands still, with solid income potential, cultural relevance, and timeless natural beauty.
