Palace of Lestrobe

Monument · Dodro, Sar, A Coruña

A Baroque pazo of the concello of Dodro, located in Lestrobe, built in the 16th century as property of the Compostela archbishopric and remodelled throughout its history; for generations it served as the archbishops' summer residence until it fell into decline. In the entrance courtyard stands a monumental chafariz from the 18th century, with three tiers crowned by the figure of Santiago the pilgrim, and the building also takes the name Pazo do Anxo da Garda from the chapel dedicated to this invocation, recognisable only by its small bell-gable on the roof and still in parish use. After a long period of abandonment, it was restored between 2003 and 2005 through an agreement between the Xunta and the archbishopric, and in 2006 it opened as a hotel and restaurant run by Pousadas de Compostela.
