This manor house was built at the end of the 16th century to be the residence of the Clapers noble family. In the 17th century,it served as a dressing station and in the 18th century was bought by a Barcelona family, the Mercader, who joined the counts of Bell-lloc in the 19th century. In 1886,it housed the base of Casino Malgratense. In 1921, a worker-consumer cooperativewas founded. They bought the building, renovated and turned it into an important cultural centre with a café, ballroom, library and reading room. After the post-war period, the shop was renovated and expanded and the kneading machine was fixed. Since the oven was installed, the farmers that were members of the cooperative could bring their own flour to the bakery in exchange for some tickets to purchase bread with a special price. Later, the café was used as headquarters of the Chess Club until 1963. The club was in charge of the café until 1966, when the venue was finally closed.In 1991, the City Council purchased the building and in 1998 reconverted it to the Municipal Library La Cooperativa that is still working today.
