Can the neoclassical ruins of the old schools of Terán be saved from the state of ruin and abandonment that led to their inclusion on a red list?

Situated in the heart of the Valle de Cabuérniga in Teran stands the neoclassical building known as Las antiguas escuelas de Terán. Built in the mid-19th century to serve the inhabitants of the valley, the structure features exterior walls of stone masonry and a central body with ashlar elements.

In 1986, the municipality of Teran sold the building to a private owner. Later, in 2001, the autonomous government included the building as a bien de Patrimonio Cultural de Cantabria.

In 2016, the association Hispania Nostra included the old schools on its red list due to their state of ruin and abandonment. In 2019, the cultural association La Castañera de Terán de Cabuérniga reported this same situation to the Fiscalía.
