Aduana de Los Queñes, Historical customs building in Romeral, Chile.

The stone building consists of two equal volumes with four circular towers covered by pointed roofs at each corner facing cardinal directions.

The customs facility controlled livestock movement between Chile and Argentina from 1864 until 1960, when operations at this mountain checkpoint ceased.

The structure reflects mountain architectural principles with thick stone walls and oak wood elements typical of nineteenth-century border buildings.

Located at the meeting point of Teno and Claro rivers, the building stands 10 meters above the road level in the Maule region.

The structure incorporates medieval castle design elements with corner towers, making it different from other customs buildings in South America.
