Manor House of Brastet

Monument · Naut Aran, Val d'Aran, Lleida

1580 Renaissance manor house in Unha, built by Mateu Blanc as part of Philip II's plan to fortify the entrances of Aranese villages near the French border against Huguenot invasions. Square in plan, fortified at two corners with watchtowers on stone corbels, and covered by a four-pitched roof with skylights. It passed to the Moga family in 1750 and to the Ademà family in 1840; it has recently been restored. A Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's top heritage-protection category).
