House and Chapel at Sítio de Santo António
House and Chapel at Sítio de Santo António, Colonial farmhouse and chapel in São Roque, Brazil
The rectangular farmhouse measures 35 meters by 15 meters, featuring thick rammed earth walls and stone foundations with three distinct living sections.
Fernão Pais de Barros commissioned the construction of this farmhouse in 1640, while the chapel was added in 1681 following his wife's request.
The chapel interior contains wooden altarpieces, a pulpit, and ceiling paintings in both the nave and main chapel, reflecting Portuguese colonial craftsmanship.
The property, managed by IPHAN, includes 11.64 hectares of protected land with native forest areas and lakes surrounding the architectural complex.
Brazilian writer Mário de Andrade purchased the property in 1944 and later transferred its ownership to IPHAN for preservation purposes.
