Bourgeois leisure at Penyafort Castle

We will discover into the life, customs and leisure of the Catalan industrial bourgeoisie. Penyafort Castle, which had functioned as a convent site for two centuries, ended its monastic life in 1836. After the confiscation of Mendizábal, industrialist Miquel Puig, founder of Colònia Sedó d’Esparraguera, became the new owner of the estate. A few years later, the property was inherited by his son Josep Puig i Llagostera, who converted the property into a wine farm and summer residence. He gave an atmosphere of splendor and celebration to the castle, thanks to his dual status as an industrialist and a politician of considerable influence in the Catalan and Spanish society of those times.

At the end of the guided tour, a vermouth will be offered to the attendees.
