Pazo de Casdemiro

Nestled in the village of Casdemiro in the parish of Sta María de Melias, this Pazo is easily reached from the N-120 (Ourense-Ponferrada).

The building was erected in the early 17th century. The pazo has undergone multiple restorations and the floor plan is therefore difficult to define. We could define it as a rectangular building with two floors and an exterior courtyard on two levels with a masonry construction.

The courtyard is enclosed by a wall on one side, where two doors open, the main one with a lintel and the other with a large round arch that gives access to the estate surrounding the building.

The single façade of interest is the main one, which is two storeys high. It has a first balcony with a sill with a frame on a rest. The windows overlooking the balcony are broken and have mullions.

The coats of arms in the pazo are as follows: Two rough stones on the lintel of the main door bearing the coats of arms of Puga and Feijoó. The centre contains an engraved M, an oval shield stamped with a quartered helmet bearing the cross and scallops of the Ribadeneiras, also with engravings of Enríquez, Taboada, Nóvoa and Sotelo.
