Palau Foixà – Maçanet de la Selva

The Palau Foixà is a stately home dating from the 15th century, although there is documentation confirming the existence of a large manor house at the same site before that. In its construction, the house at one point utilised a wall from a nearby Roman villa.

The building follows a rectilinear plan and comprises two floors and an attic and, typical of country houses in the area, a gable roof. As for the façade, a voussoired doorway serves as the main entrance, and a Gothic window with a three-part ogee arch featuring several reliefs, thirteen lobes and coats of arms on the imposts stands out. The attic has a window in the form of a triple semi-circular arch, with the central arch being slightly larger and taller. On the ground floor, a buttress counters the uneven slope and reinforces the structure. The house was acquired in 1943, and has operated as the Palau Foixà restaurant since 1969.
