The castle of La Fuente is an asset of national cultural interest (BICN) that benefits from more than 6 centuries of history, demonstrating the different extensions and modifications that the castle has known over time. The castle is surrounded by 29 hectares of private land for the cultivation of rapeseed and/or wheat, of which there is a garden with a variety of centenary trees and other ornamental plants which gives a romantic and serene air to this property. If the castle has undergone many architectural changes, by each heir over the centuries, it is worth mentioning the restoration in the second half of the 19th century in 1876, another in the 20th century in 1940 and 1986. The last reforms and improvements were made in 2014 where the roof and heating were done.

The old 17th century farmhouse was extended in the 19th century, innovating in agricultural techniques. The final result of its architecture is the sum of the historical construction and the incorporation of neo-renaissance decorative elements - some coming from other old constructions such as the turrets with cone-shaped roofs. The large square tower has an upper gallery, a pointed roof and an attached chapel with a nave and semi-circular apse.

The main building, together with the tower, is neo-medieval in character. The load-bearing walls are made of masonry. The façades are rendered, imitating ashlars, and the balconies have moulded stone slabs and iron railings. The roof is of Arabic tile, finished with a combined brick and tile eaves. The tower has several neo-Gothic windows with ogee arches, arabesques and mouldings.

A property with enormous possibilities for hotel and/or agricultural exploitation, with excellent communications where the AVE high speed train station, two airports (Girona and Barcelona) and the city of Girona are only a few kilometres away; and only 30 minutes from the Costa Brava.
