Castelinho da Rua Apa, Historical building in Santa Cecília, Brazil.
The French-inspired structure features medieval castle elements with pointed turrets, ornate windows, and decorative stone details on its exterior facades.
Built between 1912 and 1917 for the wealthy Guimarães dos Reis family, the building gained notoriety after a triple murder in 1937 left its residents dead.
The mansion reflects early 20th century São Paulo architecture when wealthy families commissioned European-style residences to display their social status.
Located at the intersection of Rua Apa and Avenida General Olímpio da Silveira, the building now serves as a social assistance center managed by NGO Clube de Mães.
The Federal Government claimed ownership of the property in 1937 due to a new law that did not recognize nephews as heirs after the deaths of its residents.
