Summary

The author approaches the history of the fortress and subsequent house of the Lazcano family in Contrasta, Álava. Its fortress characteristics are specified. The author then discloses the architect and the form of the new Renaissance building, which substitutes to the old razed castle. At the same time an introduction is made to the history of the Lazcano family. A plan and a hitherto unpublished section of the renascent building of Contrasta are then published.
