Prestigious Historic Manor Houses - Midoes Palace and Unique Architectural Complex in Tabua
In the centre of the picturesque village of Midoes, in the demarcated region of Dao, stands one of the most relevant historical architectural ensembles in Portugal: the Palace of Midoes and the adjacent manor houses, a unique heritage with roots in the seventeenth century.
Built by Dr. Cesar Ribeiro de Abranches Castelo-Branco, 2nd Viscount of Midoes and Judge of the Supreme Court, the palace is also known as the Palace of the Four Seasons, for the allegorical sculptures that crown the main entrance, representing spring, summer, autumn and winter. For centuries, it was the residence of the noble Ribeiro Abranches de Castello Branco family, becoming a symbol of prestige and national relevance.
The set is made up of six distinct buildings, contiguous to each other, which create a single block in the heart of the village:
The imposing Midoes Palace, with two towers, about 40 rooms spread over 5 floors, a stone well and interiors with original frescoes and stuccos that deserve restoration;
The elegant Solar da Viscondessa, which, even in ruins, adds grandeur and uniqueness to the architectural ensemble;
The noble Solar Almeida Veiga, with three floors, facing Largo Valverde;
The traditional Winery/Mill in granite stone, where excellent wine from the Touriga Nacional variety was once produced;
The cosy Casa dos Caseiros, with a camellia garden and artisanal well;
And the functional Agricultural Support House, which served as a warehouse and space for implements.
This set of manor houses and historic buildings represents a rare opportunity for a project of recovery and heritage enhancement, with enormous tourist, cultural, hotel or residential potential. Due to its size and location, it is a space capable of giving life to a landmark development, while preserving the historical heritage of the region.
Midoes, located in the municipality of Tabua and on the banks of the Mondego River, is recognised for its architectural richness and relevance in the liberal struggles, having numerous manor houses, churches and historical landmarks. The Dao demarcated region is also synonymous with wines of excellence, landscapes of rare beauty and proximity to Serra da Estrela.
A unique opportunity for investors and visionaries who wish to create a prestigious project in Portugal, combining history, authenticity and economic potential.
