Built in the 14th century, the fortification was part of the defensive line of the Esgueva and had the objective of protecting the entrance to the valley. It has gone through different owners throughout its history, including the Marqués de Lorca. In the 1970s, it was used as a grain store, but it is currently restored and empty inside, under the ownership of the Encinas Town Hall.

Impressive castle that can be seen from all points of view upon arrival in the center of Zúñiga, with four towers that dominate the area.
