Culture
The Plasentia de Butrón Foundation founded the museum in 1988. It was located in the tower-house (dated 1562) where the former town hall had been placed, and it aimed at recovering and exhibiting different elements of the history of Plentzia and its region.
The museum displays documentation of the Fishermen Associaton of Plentzia (1524-1870) and the Nautical School of Plentzia (which existed until 1933). Plans and dioramas of the estuary and its old shipyards, paintings and models of ships are also exhibited, including some votive offerings. In addition, the museum holds temporary exhibitions and cultural activities throughout the year, as well as guided tours.
