Medieval castle from the 12th century. The exact date of its construction is unknown, but it is linked to Mr Pax Méndez Sorrede, who lived during the reign of Alfonso VII (1126–1157) and Ferdinand II (1157–1188) and was the first to use the Sotomayor surname.
The castle was remodelled during the 15th and 19th centuries. It reached its greatest splendour with Pedro Madruga. In 1870 the Vega de Armijo marquises made it their summer residence, adding the balcony "Galería de Damas" to the historic site. Afterwards it became the property of the marchioness of Ayerbe and her husband, Dr. Lluria, who built a sanatorium in the surrounding area. In 1917 they lost ownership of the property and in 1982 it was acquired by the Provincial Council of Pontevedra, which carried out a major restoration work.
The construction has double defensive walls and an irregular oval layout which opens to two entrances: the south one, which today is used as an entry to the public, and the original one on the opposite side. The fortified complex is composed of the tower and the palace attached. The drawbridge that connects to the tower is a highlight, as it was an important element of defence.
