It is located on the main street of Chamusca village, very close to the Town Hall and the Tagus riverbank, in the heart of the Ribatejo plain.
It is situated next to São Pedro Palace, one of the most distinctive buildings in the village, which further enhances the historical and cultural value of the location.
This building is not open to the public and does not allow interior visits.
The property is currently on the market and may have a different purpose in the future.
Although not open for visits, it stands out for its imposing presence and interior richness, which includes a chapel with its own street entrance, a garden with benches and flowerbeds, a library spread across three rooms, and ceilings painted with coats of arms of noble families.
Inside, there are rooms with stone fireplaces and decorative elements that bear witness to the lifestyle of the region's affluent families.
Ideal for walks, this area perfectly combines heritage, tranquility, and Ribatejo culture, also serving as a point of interest for those who appreciate stately architecture, even if only from the exterior.
Chamusca is a village linked to Portuguese equestrian culture and the agricultural tradition of Ribatejo, with this building serving as an example of the connection between family history, religion, and agricultural management.
