Installed in a magnificent 18th century farmhouse, Cal Mateu-Musée de Cerdagne is a fine example of large Cerdane farms. The history of the estate is closely linked to the history of the territory. In the 17th century, the signing of the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659) divided Cerdanya in two, between France and Spain.From a modest farm to a large estate, the house, owned by the Sicart family, is gradually enriched, to be up to this place of representation of royal power. Indeed, for 100 years, the Sicarts, from father to son, were in charge of Viguier, representative of the King of France for Cerdagne. The turmoil of the French Revolution causing the charge of viguier to disappear, and the estate then had other destinies. In 1810, it was sold to a prosperous Barcelona merchant, Mathieu Riu, and it took its current name: Cal Mateu. Nevertheless, the estate retained its agricultural activity until the 1990s, when Jacques and Marie Bragulat, local farmers since 1952, retired. Double labeled site (Historical Monuments 1984 / Musée de France 1997), Cal Mateu-Musée de Cerdagne, with its astonishing high-altitude vegetable garden, in turn tells you the history of the estate and our territory. Through its mainly agricultural collections, presented in permanent or temporary exhibitions, guided tours, cultural activities or events, discover the many facets of Cerdanya, its history, its border, its riches and its developments over the centuries. .
