Those documents that exist concerning the origins of the Molines family go back to the 14th century, when a branch of the descendents of a Portuguese gentleman, Martin de Moles, settled in the Principality of Andorra and the County of Urgell.

Between the 16th to 19th centuries, the Moles family acquired considerable wealth comprised of land that, in the case of Andorra, was mainly  concentrated in the parishes of Andorra la Vella, Escaldes and Canillo. Included in this was the estate known as  “La Margineda”  which is  the oldest private territorial domain in the Principality.

In 1841 Maria Nuria Moles was betrothed to Antoni Maestre, known as  “ Molines ” and the family thereinafter became known as  “Casa Molines”.

Throughout its extensive history as a family, Casa Molines has contributed to the building and upkeep of the main public infrastructures existing in the Principality ranging from roads, schools, nurseries or medical centres . The family has also granted economic help needed for study and for a wide variety of other  needs.
