About this place
Casa Trepadús is an abandoned masia — a traditional Catalan farmhouse — in the municipality of Tremp, in the Pallars Jussà region of Catalonia. Its ruined buildings stand today among the old terraced fields that once supported the estate, surrounded by oak groves and scrubland typical of the Pyrenean foothills.
What is Casa Trepadús?
The name Trepadús refers both to the farmstead itself and to the small settlement it once belonged to, which had its own local government as early as 1812 under Enrens. Over time the settlement was annexed first to Casterner de les Olles, then to Espluga de Serra. Since 1970 the area has administratively belonged to the municipality of Tremp.
What history lies behind the ruins?
The estate still holds the remains of the chapel of Santíssima Trinitat del Trepadús, a quadrangular building covered by a barrel vault. According to 19th-century records compiled by Pascual Madoz, burials took place inside the chapel because the settlement had no cemetery of its own. Today the chapel survives only as a ruin, and its exact position on the ground is difficult to pinpoint.
The last people to live at Trepadús were three siblings — Amado, Àngel, and Trinitat. After leaving the farmstead they moved to Mas de Sant Andreu. Amado married a woman from the Pallarés family of Espluga de Serra, Àngel married Alícia from casa Honesta in Santorens, and Trinitat married Jesús Fiter.
How do you get to Casa Trepadús?
The ruins lie about 1.1 km west of Castell d'Enrens. The approach follows a pleasant woodland path that descends southwest through oak groves and scrub before reaching the terraced fields that once belonged to the farmstead. A small cemetery sits just west of the ruined homestead.
What else is worth seeing nearby?
Pallars Jussà sits in the Pyrenean foothills of Lleida province, a landscape of rocky ridges and river valleys. Trepadús makes an interesting stop for anyone curious about the history of rural settlement in the Pyrenees and the terraced farming that shaped this part of Catalonia for centuries. Tremp itself, the region's main town, is a natural base for exploring the surrounding trails and historic sites.
