This building was constructed in the first half of the 19th century on the grounds of the old church. When this church was demolished, the site became the property of the municipality, and the village school was built here. Until 1945, it was a primary school, and later the teacher’s home until it was closed in the 1970s.
The museum was created with the aim of recovering, protecting and showing our ancestors’ way of life. It is a collective effort that aims to show what everyday life was like for its people. Each room is therefore dedicated to past times full of memories.
The building is split into two floors, with a porticoed facade and wooden balcony gallery, typical of the area, which overlooks a large front garden. The entrance, kitchen, dining room and school are on the bottom floor, while the bedrooms are on the top floor. All the furnishings and objects that decorate the house have been contributed by the locals and date from the same period.
During the refurbishment work, mural paintings appeared on the outside wall depicting a group of Civil Guard soldiers with a horse and a cannon, which may date from the second half of the 19th century. There are various theories about the meaning of these paintings, which could be interpreted as scenes from the war in Africa, a representation of O’Donnell’s triumphant entry into Madrid on 11 May 1860, or even a lesson in military instruction for young people.
