Vimianzo Castle History
Vimianzo Castle was built in the 12th century and it was the property of the Moscoso family.
In 1467 it was conquered and destroyed by the Irmandinos, but later it was rebuilt under Archbishop Fonseca.
After the Vimianzo Castle came back to its original owner, the Moscoso family, Archbishop Fonseca became the castle’s prisoner.
Due to this fact, the Catholic Kings expelled the family from Galicia and they lost their property again.
