Nestled on the slopes of the Vall d'Ora, within the Tentellatge demarcation, situated between Solsona and Berga via the C-26 road, lies Postils. This rectangular farmhouse is included in the Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya. The structure features a double-sloped roof oriented north - south. On the main façade, at the corner of the east wall, there is a wooden balcony supported by stone pillars.
The door is a semi-circular arch made of masonry. The ground floor is covered with barrel vaults, while the upper floor contains the living room and bedrooms with lofts. Attached to the main façade is a chapel oriented north - south with a decorated door, a rose window, and a walled arcade at the top. To the west, there is a large shed with a single-sloped roof.
The masonry is made of irregular stones with mortar, and the stone portal with an arched opening is preserved. The house still contains three furnaces - two for lime and one for oil. The property forms a closed neighborhood with the houses La Caseta de Postils and Cal Cabaner, accessible through a gateway. The chapel was built in 1671 and restored in 1791, a date noted on the lintel when Jaume Postils was rector of the Selva.
