Gifted Medieval Manor: Guillem Castell donates Vilageliu to the church in 1300

In 1300, a nobleman, Guillem Castell, donates a manor to the church – Vilageliu, a complex testament to the relationships between lords and the religious institutions of County Osona, Spain.

Vilageliu, a manor in Tona, Osona, Spain, is part of the Architectural Inventory of Catalonia. Originally constructed as a Domus in 992-1018 by Archdeacon Rodulf, it was later donated by Guillem Castell to the eclesiastical benefit of Saint Peter of the castle of Muntanyola in 1300. The manor bears signs of later additions, such as the gallery on the left facade. Its design is not harmonious on the other facades.
