Image of la Baronia de Rialb, not of the place itself.

Remains of the castle of la Donzell, in the municipal term of la Baronia de Rialb, Noguera, documented since 1190. It formed part of an old monastic endowment, first of the monastery of Olius and later of the canons of Castellbó. Of the stronghold, remains of a tower and medieval walls survive, 1.5 kilometres from the depopulated hamlet of Sant Cristòfol de la Donzell; nearby stands the Romanesque church of Sant Pere de la Donzell, from the 11th century, now deconsecrated. The complex is protected as a bien cultural de interés nacional (Spain's highest level of heritage protection), with the code BIC RI-51-0006266.
