For over three hundred years, Butrón Castle has, since the 16th century, been the bastion around which the history of Vizcaya has been formed through continuous bloody battles between the noble families and opposing groups.
Secure in their impregnable Castle, the nobles of Butrón exercised their power over the territory using the power and worth of their troops.
The primitive tower house, the start of the Butrón lineage, was built in the mid-13th century, and was shortly after transformed into a castle by the V Lord of Butrón in the mid-14th century.
When the battles between the two opposing sides finished at the beginning of the 16th century, the building was abandoned and left to deteriorate, until it was restored at the end of the 19th century, the result of which we can see today.
