En un regard
Le château en bref
The Pazo da Rúa Nova is a Galician seigneurial manor house in the parish of San Lourenzo de András, in the municipality of Vilanova de Arousa, in the Rías Baixas. The provincial tourist office presents it as a historic and artistic monument declared in 1976, a protection now treated as equivalent to the Bien de Interés Cultural regime. The house is said to have been built on the site of a medieval fortification, hence the defensive features of the present complex. The latter brings together four adjoining bodies: a crenellated gateway, a gallery tower, the Chapel of Saint Michael and a wing decorated with two coats of arms. The setting remains rural. As a privately owned property in good condition, it is subject to no known arrangements for public visits; the Vilanova de Arousa town hall is the indicated point of contact.
