The farmhouse Jesuskoa, “Jesus’s” as indicated by the name, was built at the end of the 18th century. It is located in the Urola valley in the borough of Oikina (belonging to the town of Zumaia), 3 km. from Zumaia, 7 km. from Zarautz, and 5 km from Getaria. The farmhouse was built by the Jesuits next to an old tile-making factory as a shipping point for materials destined to be hauled by carts along the roads leading to Azpeitia in order to build the St. Ignatius of Loyola Basilica.
The building which is typical of 18th century Basque architecture, is made of stone and oakwood beams.
The renovated farmhouse has been declared a place of historical heritage and in located in a quiet place nestled in Urola Valley, 3 km away from the town centre and situated in a geographically privileged area.
