Their descendants honoured the Catalan heritage law with the central figure as hereu (heir) followed by a priest, a doctor, a lawyer etc. They made their living through wine production and wood cutting and as such they were the main providers of the church wine called Vi de dir Misa of the Bishopric of Vic. Every year in November, they would transport the wine in large carriages to this town and consequently enrol yet another son at its seminary.In 1966, the family Permanyer bought the property of Mas Collades and restored the house and its surrounding to its original glory, which is now considered one of the most beautiful rural manor houses of Catalonia.
