Palacio de Saldañuela

Palacio de Saldañuela is a Renaissance manor house in Sarracín featuring a three-sided porticoed courtyard with Corinthian columns at the entrance. A central fountain called Fuente de las Gracias sits within the courtyard, and limestone quarried from Hontoria forms part of its construction.

The site originated with a tower from the late 14th century, and the palace itself was constructed beginning in 1562 under Isabel Osorio's lordship. This combination of medieval and Renaissance structures defines the building's character.

The chapel holds a Mannerist altarpiece that reflects the artistic traditions of the Burgos region and represents local craftsmanship of its time.

The property is open to visitors and has been maintained following major renovations in the 1990s. Plan your visit during daylight hours to best appreciate the architectural details and courtyard design.

A 1650 inventory documents a dedicated room that housed armor and weapons collections. This space reveals how noble families displayed their possessions within their residences.
