Castle of Múnter

Monument · Muntanyola, Osona, Barcelona

The castle of Múnter is a ruined building close to the church of Sant Esteve de Múnter, in the eastern part of Muntanyola (Osona), declared a cultural asset of local interest. It is already documented in the tenth century, under the name Castellet in 929, as a satellite of the castle of Muntanyola, whose allodial lords were the Muntanyol family; at the end of the twelfth century it separated from it and passed to the Montcada family. In 1293 it belonged to the knight Guillem de Brull, whose family kept the domain until becoming related in the fifteenth century to the Alta-riba of Riudeperes and in the sixteenth to the Descatllar; in 1754 the property passed by marriage to the Sentmenat family. Of the building a stretch of thick wall survives at the top of the hill and, one level below, remains of other walls and a room with part of a barrel vault.
