The tower is one of the largest fortified houses in the town of Vidreres. Over the course of its history, it has undergone several changes and metamorphoses.
The three-story central body of the building, which dates back to between the 15th and 16th centuries, has a voussoired and cusped round arch door and windows with imposts on the top floor. On the western side, there is a four-story square defensive tower with openings at the back. On the other side, to the east, there is a secondary building that was adjoined later (between the 18th and 19th centuries), perpendicular to the old part. In the 20th century, a square tower was built on the opposite corner to the existing one.
Inside the building, we find a remarkable and very interesting feature: the mill. Made in the popular Art Nouveau style, it is a hexagonal structure around twenty meters tall, with a spiral staircase inside, decorated with several colorful ceramics. In contrast to the hexagonal body, the crown is round, with a wrought-iron balustrade.
Around 500 meters from the Llobet tower, there is a set of three reservoirs that share its name. They were built by the Llobet family, in the stream of the same name, to irrigate the fields.
