The Spooky Pazo de Mariñán — Bergondo

Stepping into the mysterious Pazo de Mariniñán, an old Spanish manor, you'll find yourself drawn into its chilling history. Unravel the mysteries of its dark past, including the strange deaths, unsolved conspiracies, and missing family tree that still haunt its stone walls.

Originating from Mariñán, Bergondo, the Pazo de Mariñán was built by Gómez Pérez Mariñas I in the 15th century, initially intended as a fortress. Labeled a Historical-Artistic Ensemble in 1972, it lies tucked between histories like Betanzos and Pontedeume, roughly 25km from Coruña. Yet, the manor's grim past is marked by peculiar events, such as the bizarre attempt on life by an ancestor, Luís de Pimentel e Soutomaior, against his wife - just one of the many eerie tales that still linger in its walls. Curious to know who else met an untimely end? Another ancestor's death remains a secret, enveloped in a mysterious lineage that time has yet to uncover. Over time, the pazo was inherited by the Coruña Deputation upon the passing of Gerardo, to be used for social purposes.
