What happened to Irurak One Palace in Getxo?
The company responsible for the construction of 12 houses on the site of the building was licensed to rehabilitate it, maintaining the original facades, which had a special local level of protection, but were demolished without authorization from the City of Getxo.

A township court is investigating the irregular demolition of the Irurak Bat building in Getxo in August 2024. The palace was built in 1845 at 11 St. Nicholas Street in the Algorta district and had special municipal protection.
A construction company planned to build 12 luxury homes on this site, six in the palace itself, renovating the building and maintaining its historic facades, and six in a new building, which was run by the cooperative Ereaga Atalaya and in which two PNV councillors from the Getxo City Council participated.

In early August last year, the construction company demolished the entire protected building without the permission of the City Council, so municipal technicians ordered the works to be halted. Since then, the case has generated considerable controversy in the municipality, and the case has reached the courts for alleged irregularities.
Just on Tuesday, the investigating court ordered the secrecy of the investigation, and tomorrow, January 15, five of the accused, including the architect, rider and co-builder, and two witnesses, were summoned to testify, although tomorrow's interrogations have finally been suspended.
The investigation carried out by the Ertzaintza in connection with this demolition seeks to determine whether an alleged crime of prevarication was committed in the authorisations of this work, which would result in officials or politicians making decisions knowing that they were illegal.
Getxo City Council (governed by PNV and PSE) found that the license for this work allowed the reform of the protected building, maintaining the four facades and adding a new building on the same plot. "The total demolition was never authorized," he said.
