Rectangular country house with a hip roof and a square tower attached to the left side and built with river pebbles. The estate is surrounded by gardens and the access to the house is under a bridge, over which there are galleries that lead to a large terrace, which in turn is located above the landlords‘ dwelling and the owners’ living quarters.
The semi-circular entrance doorway is paved with voussoirs. On the sides there are two rectangular windows with a pair of pilasters with a capital inside them, and further to the left, another pair of windows, in this case smaller and with stone decoration framing them. On the first floor there is a balcony with a lintelled opening, with two rectangular windows flanking it and two semicircular arched windows on the left side of the wall, all with wrought iron grilles. The attic windows are rectangular and the barbican is also decorated with mosaics.
On the right-hand side, at first-floor level, there is a gazebo.
This old country house is recorded in the the parish and district of San Hipólito’s hearth tax of 1553. Gabriel Ordeix lived there at the time.
The house was extended in the 17th and 18th centuries. The most important renovation took place in the middle of the 20th century, when the architect J. Pericas turned it into a stately home.
The current owner, Francesc de Assis Parés, has been a great collector of antiques, which is why the Ordeix country house has now become a kind of museum.
