Gaztelu

Gipuzkoa's Gaztelu is located in the Tolosaldea region and borders on Navarre. It is situated in the middle of nature, surrounded by green mountains and meadows, which offer visitors the possibility to go for nice walks and observe an area with solid farmhouses dotted around, which keep the essence of the rural Gipuzkoa.

 

Most of the buildings are located around the church and the Town Hall. The parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción is a significant construction. It has a rectangular ground plan, a bell tower and an arcade porch. Close to it there is a wide square where there are many big houses worth mentioning: Seroetxe, Erretore Etxea and the Osingone Farmhouse, among others.

 

The magnificent Town Hall, close to the church, has a portico with three arches. Also very close, we will find fascinating the former public wash house and its fountain, which has been very well preserved throughout the years. Four pillars hold up the wooden construction.

 

Besides, if we visit Gaztelu in mid-August, we will have great fun at the town's patron Saint festival.
