Casa Tristany

Casa Tristany (Spanish: Casa Tristany) is a manor house located in the municipality of Pinós, in the Solsonès region, Spain. It is a Bien de Interés Cultural.

A large fortified building, it belonged to the Tristany family. That family produced many Carlist officers during the 19th century, the best known being Benito Tristany and Rafael Tristany, both born on the property. There were also Miguel Tristany, a commander during the First Carlist War, killed in action; José Tristany, a colonel of the First War; Miguel Tristany, a captain of the Second Carlist War, killed fighting alongside Rafael Tristany in 1848; Antonion Tristany, a commander killed in action during the Carlist uprising of 1855; and Francisco Tristany, a general between 1872 and 1876.
