Description

Little remains of the original fortress, with the present-day pazo a somewhat sterile building, as a result of the alterations that it underwent in the last century. The chapel, which the lords of the pazo entered via a passage over a magnificent arch that formed part of the doorway, is extremely interesting thanks to its altarpiece, overlooked by the Virgin of Guadalupe, whose worship is consecrated here. Sanctified by a cruceiro, the garden, following a French geometric layout, has a variety of species, ranging from traditionally Galician, to exotic palms, cedars, magnolias, camellias and trees from tropical regions.
