Open days

The Deputación de Pontevedra (Provincial Council of Pontevedra) opens the doors of the fortress to neighbours and visitors on 26 April, the VI European Day of Historic Gardens. Soutomaior Castle wants you to discover, in an enjoyable way, how a military building became a palace boasting a wonderful garden.

Over the centuries, the castle lands have had different purposes depending on the needs and preferences of its owners. They have been used as a grove, a woodland, a crop field and a garden. These open days aim to enhance the historical landscape of the fortress and its surroundings in an entertaining way through its museum.

Prior reservation is not required, but the capacity of the building will be respected.

Naturalist's notebook

On 26 April, the VI European Day of Historic Gardens, a copy of the didactic folder and its corresponding naturalist diploma will be given to all families visiting the castle and requesting it at the ticket office.
