Pazo da Touza, Manor house in Camos, Nigrán, Spain

Pazo da Touza is a manor house in Galicia with stone walls made of granite blocks and a three-story tower showcasing heraldic carvings and Tuscan columns supporting the roof. The property includes a separate chapel and now operates as a hotel with restaurant and event space for celebrations.

The lands belonged to the Tuy chapter until 1568, when it leased them to the squire Vasco de Godoy. In 1613 Godoy gave them to his nephew Gregorio Vásquez Ozores, a captain in Flanders married to Teresa Troncoso de Lira, who began building the pazo in the 16th century. The main building was substantially remodelled in the 18th century, and in the 20th century the estate was turned over to agriculture, with apple trees planted across its 40,000 m².

The chapel on the grounds reflects traditional Galician devotion through its bell gable and the niche displaying an image of the Virgin Mary's Assumption. This religious space shows how faith was woven into the daily life of the manor's former residents.

The estate lies on Rúa dos Pazos in A Touza, parish of Camos, Nigrán, in the Val Miñor. The 40,000 m² grounds hold gardens with centenary trees and a boxwood maze, plus the chapel built into the main façade. As a working hotel and event venue, access to rooms and interiors depends on bookings; ask the establishment before visiting.

The ornate entrance gate displays a ducal crown and carved lions in the family coat of arms, symbolizing the former residents' status and power. This detailed heraldic work is often the first impression visitors notice and sets the tone for understanding the estate's noble history.
