The Laguna de Contreras Fortification Palace, which stands on the right bank of the La Hoz stream, constitutes an important cultural heritage asset as a Cistercian palace-fortress from the 13th century, the only example of Cistercian-style civil architecture in the province of Segovia . In 1623 the title of Viscount of Laguna de Contreras is already recorded, which has given rise to its current name.

It is a complex made up of the remains of a fortress and a chapel, originally surrounded by a masonry and rammed earth fence with a rectangular floor plan that is now almost gone. In the 18th century, the church dedicated to the Assumption of Our Lady was built, which is not part of the fortress but is located nearby.
