Butron Castle is one of the symbols of Bizkaia and has been recognized as a protected heritage building. It has a built surface of over 2,400 square metres and is located in a privileged environment with a park of over 35,000m2.

The unique nature and importance of this property - the only Romantic castle on sale in Spain - make it particularly attractive to investment funds or private investors (which were approached by the real estate consultant prior to the auction). The auction sale will be carried out on this website http://www.butroncastle.com.

Butron Castle - currently belonging to INBISA - was for over 300 years (from the 13th to the 16th centuries) a bastion around which the history of Bizkaia developed. It is a magnificent monument of Romanticism.

The Castle was built in the Middle Ages by the Butron family and was renovated by Francisco de Cubas and Gonzalez-Montes, Marquis of Cubas, at the end of the 19th century. It is surrounded by an extensive parkland.  

The property has a ground floor, mezzanine, five floors, rooftop and four towers. Inside there are several rooms including a guest reception area, the old chapel, the fireplace hall, a 200m2 large open area, the courtyard, the food storeroom, a natural water well, a library, two bathrooms and one dungeon.
