Viladomiu Nou, Industrial colony in Gironella, Spain

The industrial complex includes a factory, residential buildings, a church, and a tower along the Llobregat River in the Berguedà region of Catalonia.

The Viladomiu family initiated construction of the factory in 1880, establishing a separate colony from Viladomiu Vell when brothers Joseph and Jacinto inherited their shares in 1897.

The Sacred Heart Church, built between 1900 and 1905, served as the central gathering point for the colony's religious and social activities.

The colony maintains 102 residences dating from 1900 to 1951, with many current inhabitants being former workers of the textile factory that closed in 1991.

The Owner's House, constructed in 1899, now functions as a management center for the Llobregat River Park Consortium and receives visitors.
