The building was ordered to be built by D. Sebastián de Huerta, Secretary General of the Inquisition and a native of the Guard.
An outstanding element of the building is the 18th century Baroque façade that maintains some Mannerist aftertaste. It is made of stone and is preserved in good condition.

Also known as the "house of the Inquisition", this museum has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest for its great architectural and historical value, strongly linked to that period of Spanish history. The construction belonged to the Jaenes family and was built at the end of the 18th century. With a baroque-style façade, its interior patio with a square floor plan and opening to the sky, very characteristic of that time and this type of construction, also stands out.
