Pazo Quinteiro da Cruz

Pazo Quinteiro da Cruz is situated in the parish of Lois, in Ribadumia, in the heart of the Salnés valley.

Dating from the 18th century, this manor house is a splendid example of Galician neoclassical architecture. The estate has several romantic elements: stone fountains, shady bowers, gardens, statues and sundials.

It also has two ‘cruceiros’ (stone crosses), of which the one by the house is the most outstanding; a 15-metre-long large 18th-century stone “horreo” (raised granary) and another 19th-century one, of stone and wood, mounted above a small pond reached by a double stone staircase of the same era; a 16th-century chapel; a baptismal font from the late 12th century; a crenellated dovecote and a washing place, which all evoke a romantic atmosphere without losing that intensely Galician character.

There is a winery where Albariño wine from estate-grown grapes is produced and sold under the name “Quinteiro da Cruz”, D.O. Rías Baixas, It has an outbuilding, with a portico of stone columns, in which there is a traditional Galician stone hearth, a wine press and farming implements (catalogued in the registers of European wine-making cultural heritage and Galician cultural and artistic heritage). The estate now offers excellent facilities in an incomparable setting, perfect for the organization of all kinds of events: weddings, meetings, and conferences, etc.
