Pazo de O Campo
About this heritage
This Pazo do Campo is also currently known as Pazo de Gayón, due to the family to which it originally belonged in the 18th century. In the following century, it is known to have passed into the hands of a certain "Chamocín." The pazo is a large 18th-century construction originally in an "L" shape with an added wing later. To the right of Pazo do Campo, we see a Baroque chapel with Neoclassical renovation crowned by a bell gable above the Losada lineage coat of arms. The pazo also features the same coat of arms above the lintel of the entrance door.
To learn more
The Pazo do Campo, also called Pazo de Gayón, is a very large and old house that was built a long time ago, in the 18th century, by a family named Gayón. Later, the house belonged to another person named Chamocín. The pazo is L-shaped and later had another part added. Next to it, there is a small church with a bell and a coat of arms of the Losada family, which also appears on the main door. It is a beautiful place full of history.
To know it better
The so-called Pazo do Campo, or Pazo de Gayón, is a notable example of 18th-century Galician civil architecture. Its origin is linked to the Gayón family, from whom it takes its name, although in the 19th century it was acquired by an owner nicknamed “Chamocín.” The building originally has an “L” floor plan, to which a complementary wing was later added. Attached to the property, on its right flank, is a Baroque chapel with Neoclassical renovation, crowned by a bell gable that rises above the heraldic coat of arms of the Losada family, a lineage also represented on the lintel of the pazo’s main entrance. This architectural ensemble reflects the stylistic and social evolution of the Galician rural nobility between the 18th and 19th centuries.
