Semi-restored medieval house in the centre of Mondoñedo

Description

Manor house in Mondoñedo, medieval heritage in the heart of Mariña Lucense

This medieval house is located at number 19 on a cobbled street in the historic centre of Mondoñedo, former capital of the Kingdom of Galicia and World Heritage Site. The property is part of the Historic-Artistic Complex officially declared since 1985, just metres from the Cathedral-Basilica of the Assumption, also recognised as World Heritage by UNESCO.

The building dates from 1800 and preserves medieval architectural elements of great value, including original semicircular arches and local stone masonry walls that testify to centuries of history. Its privileged location places the property on the route of the Northern Camino de Santiago, where pilgrims have travelled for generations towards Santiago de Compostela.

Historic structure with modern restoration and versatile spaces

The house is distributed over two floors plus loft, with approximately 140 m² per floor and 60 m² additional under roof. The interior features completely open-plan spaces that allow distribution according to the new owner's needs, whether as a family home or rural tourism project.

Interiors with medieval soul and infinite possibilities

The ground floor offers ample spaces connected by a perfectly preserved traditional stone staircase. The thick masonry walls show different construction techniques that reveal the different periods of expansion. The wooden-framed windows provide natural light from multiple orientations, with designs that vary between floors: round and wide on the first floor, square and more compact on the second.

The upper floor maintains the same spaciousness, while the loft under roof constitutes an open-plan space with great height and multiple possibilities for use as additional bedrooms, living area or office.

Rear gallery and unique elements of heritage value

The rear part includes a glazed gallery with high-quality wooden structure that connects the interior with a garden space. The medieval semicircular arches have been protected with glazing, preserving these unique elements while integrating them into the architectural ensemble.

Living in Mondoñedo, history and culture in Mariña Lucense

Mondoñedo was one of the seven historic capitals of Galicia and preserves exceptional cultural heritage. The Cathedral Square and the Mills Quarter testify to its noble past. The town houses the Santa Catalina Seminary, the Diocesan Museum and multiple constructions of artistic value that form one of the most relevant urban complexes in Galicia.

The location allows easy access to the best beaches of Mariña Lucense: the Cathedral Beach 20 minutes away, considered one of the most beautiful in the world, and the beaches of Foz, Burela and Ribadeo. The Monastery of San Salvador de Lourenzá, the Cova do Rei Cintolo (the largest karstic cavity in Galicia) and the Serra do Xistral offer natural and cultural tourism options.

Santiago de Compostela is 166 km away via the Northern Way, while Lugo capital is 45 km away and Santiago airport 80 km. This connectivity makes the property a perfect base to enjoy both the historical heritage and the exceptional nature of Mariña Lucense.

This medieval house represents a unique opportunity to create a home with history in the centre of one of the most important towns of Galician heritage, where traditional architecture meets 21st century possibilities.
