Property Description

Discover the historical essence of Pelegrina Castle, strategically located on top of a rocky promontory above the Dulce River in Guadalajara. With a built area of 581 m² on a plot of 1939 m², these ruins offer a unique opportunity for history and nature lovers.
The ashlar walls, one and a half meters thick and eight meters high, together with the cylindrical towers and the gate defended by a machicolation, highlight its defensive character. This castle, polygonal in plan and 45 meters long, is a testimony of medieval architecture.
The castle, built in the 12th century, has witnessed numerous historical events, including the wars of Succession and Independence. Although abandoned and dismantled over the centuries, it awaits restoration to restore it to its former glory.
From its battlements, one can spot griffon vultures, golden eagles and peregrine falcons, as well as enjoy the rich native flora and fauna. This place was the setting for the documentary series 'Man and Earth', directed by Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente.
Pelegrina, the picturesque village at the foot of the castle, adds charm to this property with its narrow streets and 12th century Romanesque church. In addition, its strategic location makes it the ideal starting point for exploring the natural beauty of the area, with breathtaking hiking trails.
This property not only offers a rich history and an unparalleled natural environment, but also enormous development potential. The castle can be restored and converted into a private residence, a cultural events center or a rural tourism business. In addition, it is exempt from Real Estate Tax (IBI) as it is an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC).
For future investors, any renovation must be approved by the town hall of Castilla-La Mancha. We have contacts that can help to process the relevant permits. Just an hour and a half drive from Madrid and with a train station in Sigüenza, only 9 kilometers away, Pelegrina Castle is easily accessible.
