Estancia of La Candelaría, Historical hermitage and castle in Lobos, Argentina

The estate encompasses a French-style castle with detailed architectural elements, extensive gardens, and a colonial sector spread across 40 hectares of Argentine countryside.

Don Orestes Piñeiro acquired the land in 1840 and established the estancia in 1890, naming it after his wife Candelaria del Mármol.

The estate maintains Argentine traditions through gaucho performances, traditional horseback riding sessions, and authentic farm-to-table dining experiences with local ingredients.

Located 115 kilometers from Buenos Aires, the property offers accommodations in both castle rooms and colonial-style quarters, with full board dining options available.

French architect Alberto Favre designed the castle in 1894, while renowned landscaper Carlos Thays created the surrounding gardens.
