Sobroso Castle History
The oldest reference to Sobroso Castle dates back to 1096. Back then, the castles were the property of the Counts of Galicia, Dona Urraca, and Don Raimundo of Burgundy, the Mitra of Tui.
The Sobroso Castle that stands today dates back to the 14th or 15th-century construction consisting of 2 enclosures. The outer one is irregular and the entrance is made through a drawbridge, and the inner one is rectangular with its keep on its weakest side.
In the 15th century, Sobroso Castle saw the fight between the Sarmientos and Pedro Madruga, but after that, the castle wasn’t much action.
