Engenho Freguesia e Construções anexas, Portuguese colonial sugar mill museum in Candeias, Brazil.

The Engenho Freguesia complex features a 57-room manor house spread across four floors with classical columns and pointed arch openings.

Built around 1760, the sugar mill employed 160 workers during its peak production period in 1850, operating until its final harvest in 1899.

The site now houses the Recôncavo Wanderley Pinho Museum, displaying furniture, paintings, ceramics, and industrial artifacts from colonial Brazil.

The manor house connects directly to the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Conceição through an entrance on the main floor of the residence.

The architectural design combines the chapel and main house in a single structure, departing from typical Brazilian colonial building patterns.
