History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Royal Monastery of Santa Mar\u00eda de Oia was founded in the 12th<\/sup> century and belonged (almost from the beginning) to the Cistercian Order. Monastic life ended in 1836, with the Mendizabal Disentailment. It then fell into private hands and has been owned by different families and used for various purposes (mainly as holiday residence, although it has also housed a school and a prison).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

In 1931, it was declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) and awarded the highest degree of protection in terms of heritage. However, before and after it went through years of neglect, looting and several fires. Since the beginning, access to the monastery was limited and only now can it be visited (thanks to its current owners).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Two strategic lines are currently being followed. The main and most complex one has to do with the restoration of the Monastery. The idea is to turn it into a hotel, thereby guaranteeing its future sustainability. Meanwhile, public access will be granted by means of an annual cultural program. In both instances, the goal is the same: breathe new life into the Monastery and showcase a forgotten piece of our tangible and intangible heritage, integrated in the landscape and with a bright future ahead. The work carried out during these last couple of years has left its mark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
