The origin of the ÃÂ¨HÃÂ³rreo de ErtzillaÃÂ¨ dates back to the 16th century. Formerly these elements were very habitual in the houses of the biscay eastern valleys, mainly in the Duranguesado. It is made of oak and raised on four pilasters of sandstone. The pieces of wood fit nicely together without the need for metal nails.
