Quinta de Vale-de-Ventos, also known as Granja de Vale-de-Ventos, is a place with deep roots in the history of the Cistercian order, playing a crucial role in the lives of Cistercian monks over the years.
This property houses several structures, including houses, warehouses, a chapel, a wine cellar, and other buildings, all playing a significant role in the life of the quinta.
The oldest buildings include the main house and warehouses, located at right angles to the main house. Near them are the wine cellar and wine press, while the chapel is located at the southeast end of the property.
The main house is a single-story structure with a veranda along its facade. Its symmetry and regular design are notable, with the adjacent chapel being particularly noteworthy.
As is typical of properties far from monasteries, Quinta de Vale-de-Ventos has a chapel that was used by the monks and lay brothers who lived and worked on the property.
Quinta de Vale-de-Ventos is located in the parish of Turquel, in the municipality of Alcobaça, with a history dating back to the 17th century. To this day, it preserves evidence of its past, such as the stone-carved water reservoirs that supplied water to the property.
Quinta de Vale-de-Ventos offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the Cistercian architecture and legacy, while enjoying the beauty and serenity of this special place.
