Fazenda Colubandê, Colonial farm estate in São Gonçalo, Brazil

The Colubandê Farm features a grand manor house with 1.5-meter-thick walls constructed from stone, lime, and brick, spanning 700 square meters.

Built in the 17th century by Catarina Siqueira, the estate was sold to Benjamin Benevitis, who changed his name to Ramires Duarte Leão to escape the Inquisition.

The property includes the Sant'Ana Chapel from 1618, which served as a religious center for both the landowners and farm workers during colonial times.

The estate remains unoccupied since 2012 when the Forest and Environmental Police Battalion relocated from the premises to another location.

The manor house was built around a well following Jewish tradition, combining oriental-style ceiling with Louis XV windows and Greco-Roman columns.
