Castle of Vimianzo, Medieval castle in Vimianzo, Spain

The Castle of Vimianzo features four towers, thick stone walls, a defensive moat with drawbridge, and an interior courtyard for military exercises.

The Moscoso family lost ownership of the castle after imprisoning Archbishop Fonseca, leading to their expulsion from Galicia by the Catholic Kings.

The castle houses an ethnographic museum displaying regional crafts, including stonework, basketry, lace making, ceramics, and traditional linen products.

The Provincial Council of A Coruña maintains and operates the castle, offering guided tours and cultural exhibitions throughout the year.

Local artisans demonstrate traditional crafts inside the castle during summer weekends, continuing centuries-old techniques of the Galician region.
