It is one of the most important palatial buildings of Viana and its region. Located in the center of the village, the building is constructed around a central pseudo-rectangular courtyard of about 130 square meters that has a projecting hallway – supported on granite columns – along almost the entire residential floor. On the exterior wall of the residential complex we can read two inscriptions containing the dates of construction and extension: 1614 and 1679 respectively.
The main facade, carved in good quality stonework, places a portal framed between boxed pilasters that support a classic enablement. The capitals have volumes of Ionian order flanking a tripartite lintel in which two canines faced by a roe deer are carved in high relief. The structure is crowned by a niche with the image of Saint Anthony in the center. On the sides there are two coats of arms that we can see in detail in the drawings. On the ledge, on the image of the Portuguese Franciscan, appears the head of an angel with wings.
Next to the facade of the manor house is its chapel, raised in an exempt way that, the difference of the residential complex, presents a good state of conservation. On its frontispiece is the coat of arms of the Salado, Blanco and Novoa families, as it also expresses the inscription that accompanies it.
265 m southwest of the manor house, on a large plot of land known as A da Igrexa, is the dovecote of the house, square plan and with whitewashed walls, which presents a single roof. It also has its own fountain, although in Fradelo there are "many springs of pure and healthy waters" according to Pascual Madoz (1847).
"With their hearts already at the top, they began to ascend to Fradelo, another beautiful village of Viana, with feudal castles, that survived more suffocating times for the landscape... and stopped in front of the facade of St. Vincent"
Manuel García Paz, IV Melody (1935)
