HISTORY

For last 6 years the place where MONTAGOOD FESTIVAL had been is in Alcarràs municipal term.

The tiny village of Montagut was sacked and demolished in 1641 by the Felipe IV troops. After this war, the landlord of the “Montagut State”, who belonged to the LLeida’s Cathedral, tried to rebuild the village giving away fields and the facility to the families to build a new home. The people preferred to build the country houses on their own fields where they worked as no need to travel. So for that reason, the village has never been rebuilt.

To control the harvest and works from all the farmers of the country places there were several responsibles and managers. They and their family lived in the called “Montagut house”, place where is going to hold the 4th edition of the Montagood Festival 2008.

The Montagut’s, is a complex formed by Saint Ana Chapel of the 18th century and the annex buildings as houses, old school, garages and the weighing machine. At this place was where all the farmers brought all the harvest, they weight it and part from it was to pay the fields’ “rent”. All this arrangements were signed in an annual contract. This exploitation which was in the church hands will be lasted till 1967. After then, farmers and agricultures are owners of the fields worked during a lot of years.

Montagut’s was bought in 2004 by the town council of Alcarras.
