Image of Santa Eulalia de Oscos, not of the place itself.

In the hamlet of Ferreirela de Baxo, Antonio Raimundo Ibáñez, founder of the Sargadelos factories, was born on 17 October 1749; the manor house opened as a museum in 2001, and the title of marquess attributed to him was never actually processed. The house, remodelled in 1774 and donated by Ricardo Duque de Estrada y Tejada, count of Vega del Sella and a relative of the marquess, recreates on its upper floor the traditional settings of a dwelling from the area -courtyard, lareira, hall- and devotes the ground floor to the iron and ceramics industry that Ibáñez developed at Sargadelos, with pieces from the Reales Fábricas. The forge and the cellar, located in the farmyard, complete the complex.
