The Casa Grande of Lentille

Curiosity · Cenlle, Ribeiro, Ourense

The Casa Grande de Lentille stands in the parish of San Lourenzo da Pena, in Cenlle, set on rocky ground whose own crags form part of the foundations, visible beneath the solaina on the eastern corner. With a U-shaped floor plan and a façade facing southeast, enclosed by a wall with a blazoned gateway, it represents the model of hidalgo residence typical of the Ribeiro: not a courtly pazo, but the house of an owner linked to the vineyard. In the courtyard, the three wings are lined by a solaina resting on arcades and pseudo-Doric columns, beneath a large wooden eave; the roof, with four slopes, ends in three chimneys. It preserves the original kitchen, with hearth, oven and tiled floor. Very close by stands another pazo, the Casa dos Toubes.
