Pelourinho de Castro Laboreiro

Highlight • Monument

The original pillory dates back to 1560. It was dismantled in 1860, and its parts were reused in several houses in the village. Between 1980 and 1985, some parts were salvaged and the pillory rebuilt.
Pillories were a long-standing part of the judicial system in Castile.

The medieval church Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria da Visitação de Castro Laboreiro, or simply Igreja de Santa Maria da Visitação (Visitation of the Virgin Mary) or Igreja Matriz de Castro Laboreiro, is located in the small town (Portuguese: Vila) of Castro Laboreiro. The church was first mentioned in 1241, when the monastery of Celanova transferred ownership of the church to Sancho II (Portuguese: Sancho II o Capelo). In 1319, the church was entrusted to the Knights of the Order of Christ of Bragança.
