A castle of medieval construction

The ancient fortress was originally buily by Otxoa García de Loyzaga in the XII century, while "Banderizas" Wars where taking place. Loyzaga was part of the “gamboínos”, a side which was defeated by the opposing side. Therefore, the castle was wrecked by the opposing side. The remains of the tower were restored in 1985 thanks to Miguel de la Vía. The new tower was built in the same setting as the older tower under the name of Loizaga.

Other original parts that were kept such as the emblems of Loyzaga and Murga in the main fachade with stunning views to Galdames or part of the wall and an embrasure that proved to be useful for protecting the fortress against external attacks in the past.
