History

The castle-mansion of Sant Mori was constructed, according to historical documents, in the XV century, on former ruins. Its first and most important renovation took place in the XVI century, giving this beautiful structure the Gothic-Renaissance air which we enjoy today.  The castle has witnessed and taken part in different historic moments, the most relevant being the stay of  Queen Juana Enriquez and her son Fernando, who would later become Fernando the Catholic, who would later marry Isabel and together they would sponsor the voyage made by Christopher Columbus to discover America.

Queen Juana traveled to Sant Mori from Castille. Here she was the guest of her vassal Pere de Rocaberti, the first Baron of Sant Mori. Her objective was to assume command of the troops during different conflicts that took place in what is now  the  peaceful setting of the Ampurdán. One of the occurrences related to her stay was the calling of Parliament to put an end to the military conflicts that devastated the region.

Nowadays, the Master Bedroom "La Estancia de la Reina Juana" is one of seven in the castle available to the visitorsFrom the XV century until the present, the castle has belonged to the same family, whose present members are descendents of the feudal lord who built it. This continuity is unusual in the area and explains why the castle is in such good repair and why its maintenance has been careful and harmonious over the years allowing the present owners to have the exclusive privilege of sharing  its special atmosphere with a select clientele.
