This structure becomes still more complex as some retaining walls appear in the ground courtyard and closing walls in the side part, which provide new space possibilities by appropriating three interconnected volumes as an extension of the main volume. The building and its walls, except for a restored wing, have a harmonious masonry and a lintel in a big door with an emblematic coat of arms above. There is a straight cornice in the whole main building, suntraps and some details of good-quality carpentry. There are stone benches on both sides of the main door and secondary Doors with a wood-structure cap. Together with Randín Church, this pazo is the building of the most architectonic value in the municipality.
