El Castellar

Monument · Sant Martí de Centelles, Osona, Barcelona

El Castellar, or Castellar de Dalt, is a farmhouse and former fortified house, originating in the thirteenth century, in Sant Martí de Centelles (Osona, Barcelona), declared a cultural asset of national interest. It stands on an estate that also includes the Castellar de Baix, les Pujades and el Fabregà farmhouses, on the upper buttresses of the cingles de Bertí. It is a rectangular-plan agricultural and livestock building, with several bodies added around a small paved threshing floor; the main south facade has a doorway with an engraved monolithic lintel. In the interior hallway a press is preserved, along with another engraved lintel bearing the name of the Castellar family and the drawing of a castle that gives the house its name, next to the stables, the wine cellar and a room for the farmhands with a stone kitchen and hearth.
