The Béjar Forest encircles a villa that was constructed in 1567 during the Renaissance period by the Duke of Béjar. Today, it is under the ownership of the Béjar Town Council and the Government of Castile and Leon.
In 1982, the Béjar Forest was recognized as an Historic Artistic Garden and designated as a Site of Cultural Interest. It stands out as one of the rare historical gardens in Castilla y León.
