The most remarkable concentration of noble architecture in O Ribeiro. This tiny parish at the confluence of the Avia and Arenteiro rivers contains at least eight major noble houses: Pazo de Cervela, Pazo dos Feixoo, Pazo do Currelo, Pazo dos Tizón, and the Pazo de la Encomienda — a former commandery of the Order of Malta, one of only two in Ourense province.

The most significant noble house in Castrelo de Miño and the best representative of Baroque civil architecture in the area. A two-story building with the central section projecting forward and rising to a third floor, with a chapel in the courtyard — a hallmark of pazo culture indicating the family's social status. The Araujo lineage connects it to the Torre de Sande in neighbouring Cartelle.
