Template:Geobox The Castle of Ervededo (Template:Lang-pt) is a well-preserved medieval castle located in the civil parish of Ardegão, Freixo e Mato, in the municipality of Ponte de Lima, Portuguese Viana do Castelo.
History
There are many interpretations as to the construction of the palace of Curutelo.[1] Félix Machado, in his notes on the nobility of the Count of São Pedro, stated that the structure existed during the time of Ferdinand I of León who conquered Coimbra from the Moors, and gave it to Nuno Nudiz. João Salgado de Araújo, Abbey of Perre, indicates that it was constructed by the Asturian nobleman Alarico (powerful descendant of the Goths) around 800. The building remained in the inheritance of his descendants until D. Urraca Landufes, who married Nuno Nudiz.[1] Figueiredo Guerra indicates that the building was erected in 1532, by João Rodrigues do Lago, and that there was no castle at the time that Nuno Viegas and his wife, Inês Dias, instituting the majorat, which was later confirmed by D. João I on 14 December 1395.[1] A document dating from 1395 identified that Nuno Viegas do Rego and his wife, Inês Dias, instituted a vineyard in the Quinta de Coucieiro and Quinta de Curutelo, for his son Álvaro Viegas.[1] At the time, there was no indication or reference of a castle or tower.[1] The majorat was confirmed by King D. João I in December of the same year.[1]
During the stewardship of the 5th Majorat of Coucieiro, around 1532, the lands were sold to Duke D. Jaime, becoming the owner of the residence, tower, castle and estate of Curutelo.[1] He eventually called on the nobleman João Rodrigues de Lago (son of Rui Gomes) to render services and conquer Azamar, resulting in the estate becoming the possession of his descendant in the following centuries.[1]
Following the marriage of D. Maria de Felgueiras Gajo with Dr. Rodrigo Augusto Cerqueira Velozo (a Barcelos lawyer) in 1867, work was begun on modernizing the tower, that included opening spaces for new windows and doors.[1] Yet, not having any heirs, before her death, D. Maria Felgueiras Gajo, named her husband as benefactor, resulting in litigation in the courts, that ultimately sided with Dr. Rodrigo Velozo.[1]
In 1902, the Esposende capitalist and former merchant of Porto, Valentim Ribeiro da Fonseca purchased the estate.[1]
Architecture
The structure is situated in a harmonious, rural landscape, half-way up the mount of São Cristóvão dos Milagres, also known as São Cristóvão do Curutelo, overlooking a small valley covered in forest.[1] It is encircled by a high wall, with ivy-covered, rectangular gated access alongside the roadway.[1]
The rectangular "palace" plan includes a first floor that integrates a rectangular tower sitauted in an elevated place.[1] The varying ceilings are crowned by pyramidal merlons.[1] The frontispiece is marked by rectangular gate/door and guillotine-style window on the lateral corps, with a large window decorated and surmounted by a smaller, narrower window in the tower.[1] There are regular placement of circular gargoyles. The lateral facades include three windows and two windows flanking the posterior wall.[1]
Alongside the lower wall of the estate is a small rectangular chapel, partially covered in ivy, dedicated to Santo Amaro.[1] Its frontispiece includes a simple rectangular door, flanked by two friezes and surmounted by window. It is topped with a truncated small belltower.[1] The interior includes high choir and retable in gilded-woodwork.[1]
