Pazo de Vilane, Manor house in Antas de Ulla, Spain
Pazo de Vilane is a stone manor house in Vilane with a U-shaped layout, wings of varying lengths, a tower, and a rear chapel featuring a bell gable. The entire structure is constructed from heavy stone and includes several agricultural outbuildings that are part of the original complex.
The manor was built in the late 17th century and underwent major rebuilding in the early 19th century with Baroque architectural elements incorporated. This reconstruction preserved the original layout while introducing new style features of that era.
The manor displays traditional Galician building practices with its heavy stone walls and sturdy entrance gate that reflect rural construction methods from the region. The agricultural outbuildings like the granary show how closely living spaces and farming were connected in daily life.
The manor can be visited today as it now operates as a sustainable free-range egg production facility with guided tours available. Visitors can explore the buildings and learn about the ongoing agricultural use while seeing how the site has been adapted for modern farming.
The former hay storage building was converted into a multipurpose hall where free concerts have been held since 2000. This transformation shows how the site continues to serve the community through cultural events while preserving its original buildings.
