Its present day name corresponds to that of its owner at the beginning of the 20th century, the Marques of Huarte. It was constructed sometime during the first twenty years of the 16th century, as the final gothic forms gave way to the initial renaissance style.

Its external appearance has been significantly modified. The semi-circular arched doorway and remains of the small-arched gallery on the side façade are all that remain from the original structure. Inside, however, one can observe renaissance features, such as classical columns, coffered ceiling, alongside medieval vestiges; mixtilinear arches, clustered columns and timber roof, as befits the transitional period during which it was built.
