Our history

Centuries of life

The documentation preserved in the house from centuries ago refers us to names and life stories that we place at the beginning of the 18th century.

Without stopping any further along the branches of a family tree that is opening up and growing like the great chestnut trees that shelter the house of the wind, we take a leap in time, to reach the beginning of the 20th century, and take as a reference the moment of the construction of the hayloft, of which we can read the inscription that reads:

«HECHA POR SALVADOR GONZALEZ Y SU HIJO ANGEL G. COUTO SIENDO MAESTRO SU SOBRINO ANGEL G. PAZ. AÑO DE 1917»

It is worth considering that the house had already undergone numerous extensions in past centuries, the hayloft being the most modern construction of the complex.

Presiding over the current living-dining room with their respective portraits are the inhabitants of the house from the beginning of the 20th century, and accompanying them are different images of life in this village in the last century. The people of this house always had their doors open to invite someone for eat or to tell a story.

Over time, the Casa Lourán underwent changes and new projects were undertaken, starting with the expansion of the livestock herd and the specialisation of the cattle in milk production, as a result of the needs imposed by the economic transformations. Nowadays, the production of cottage cheese, as our own speciality, is still one of the activities of our farm.

Casa Lourán opened its doors to the public as a rural tourism house in 2001. Since then, the home of Lourán has continued to smoke, but above all, the human warmth accumulated over centuries is one of the aspects that somehow come to make up the essence of our house, which now welcomes all those who wish to visit it.
