Castillo Brunet
Located at no. 104 Iberia this castle is the work of the architect Alfredo Azancot. The architecture is medieval in style, reminiscent of the French Gothic Romantic period. Since 1974 it has been used by the Chilean Police and has been known as the Palacio de Carabineros de Viña del Mar. It is used as the official residence for important visitors and for important social functions.

The Project Architect was Jorge Schroeder Espinoza, a sailor born in Talcahuano in 1895, who spent his professional life working in the region. The year after his death in 1939, his family decided to sell the rough work to Nicolás Yarur who entrusted the termination of the project to Jorge Schroeders' architect.
