Elegant Historical Riverside Manor | House in Jolda (Madalena)
9 Bedroom House in Bico, Jolda (Madalena)
Summary:
Perched on a hill overlooking the picturesque Lima River Valley, this historic manor house dates back to the 13th century, originally serving as a defensive tower. In the 18th century, the manor was revitalized by the esteemed Francisco De Araujo and Amorim, transforming it from a mere stronghold into a grand residence.
Throughout its storied history, the manor has been graced by several prominent figures. Among its notable owners were the Count of Santa Eulalia, a distinguished Portuguese diplomat renowned for sculpting the Sacred Heart of Jesus; Lord Peter Pitt; the illustrious Luis XIV of France; and the influential Cardinal Richelieu. Each has left their mark on the manor, contributing to its rich legacy and making it a landmark of historical and cultural significance.
