The municipality of Boimorto, whose name has nothing to do with a “dead ox”, has its town hall in Os Asentos.

In many of the farmhouses scattered across the lands of Boimorto it is easy to find the remains of old pazos (manor houses), a sign of great prosperity in times gone by.

Near the municipal capital, in a hollow and behind a thick oak wood, stands the pazo of Vieite, well preserved and lived in, with a working farm around it. Also close to the municipal capital, next to the church of Andavao, is the Casa Torre of the same name, with a coat of arms on the front that faces the road. It is lived in and in fair condition.

In the parish of Sendelle you can see the Romanesque church and two pazos. The church keeps a semicircular apse with a large Romanesque window, a wide archivolt and tiny columns, which give it a curiously lopsided look. The nave was rebuilt, but it kept the simple Romanesque doors and a sundial on the south-west corner.

One of the pazos in this parish, Cuintas, keeps its fine old house, but nothing of a manor about it.

The one at Marco de Arriba, on the other hand, has a handsome front by the side of the road: a doorway with broad voussoirs in a round arch and a small coat of arms. Below the coat of arms, on a stone block, an inscription in handwritten lettering reads: «Esta casa hizo Rodrigo de primeiro, ano de 1614» (“Rodrigo first built this house, in the year 1614”). It belonged to the Codesido family, long settled in the lands of Arzúa.

Another of the pazos that has not lost all its character is Rodieiros, in the hamlet of Quiñoi in that parish. Its great entrance gate is a reminder of what it once was. There are others in Porcelle, in Dormeá, Liñeiro, Taxide...
