Cultural heritage
A farmhouse built in 1793, according to the date that appears inscribed on the sundial. It is a rectangular building with a ground floor, two storeys and an attic, crowned with a sinuous cornice typical of many 18th-century farmhouses. The
sgraffiti and the greenish walls were restored respecting the design of the original rural farmhouse. Some fresco paintings are also conserved in the dining rooms.
Purchased by the nuns of Sant Josep de la Muntanya in the 1930s, it is now a children’s charity home.

Observacions
Bon exemple de masia de finals del segle XVIII amb esgrafiats i un rellotge de sol amb la data 1793 a la façana principal, rematada amb una motllura de forma sinuosa, independent de la teulada. Té una planta baixa i dos pisos i els interiors, amb una nau central a cada nivell, responen a la distribució clàssica de masia.
