Thanks to ChatGPT I now know that this is an Asturian hórreo (a traditional grain store) specific to the region of Asturias, northern Spain. Most have looked very old but this one was built in 2019.

I’ve only seen these in one village so far. I think they’re storage sheds. It’s interesting that they sit on stone pillars.
