The Monastery of Pombeiro is one of the oldest monastic institutions in Portuguese territory, being documented since 853.
In 1041, the monastery was transferred from its original location to its current location. During the condal period, the foundations of the great low-medieval monastery were established, namely after the donation by D. Egas Gomes de Sousa (the Sousões) in 1102, and from D. Teresa’s charter in 1112.
The Church consists of three naves, divided by diaphragm arches and covered in painted wood, in the lateral naves.
The Monastery is located at the intersection of two of the main medieval roads of the time – one that linked Porto to Trás-os-Montes, crossing Amarante, and a second that linked Beira to Guimarães and Braga, crossing Lamego and the Douro in Porto de Rei, which highlights the significant importance of this Benedictine monastic complex in the region.
We are in front of a Monastery of enormous beauty and an important reference for the region of Felgueiras.
O Mosteiro de Pombeiro é uma das mais antigas instituições monacais do território português, estando documentada desde 853.
Em 1041, o mosteiro foi transferido da primitiva localização para o atual local, No período condal estabeleceram-se as bases do grande mosteiro baixo-medieval, nomeadamente a partir da doação de D. Egas Gomes de Sousa (os Sousões) em 1102, e da carta de couto de D. Teresa em 1112.
A Igreja é composta por três naves, divididas por arcos-diafragma e com cobertura em madeira pintada, nas naves laterais.
O Mosteiro está situado na interseção de duas das principais vias medievais da época – uma que ligava o Porto a Trás-os-Montes, por Amarante, e uma segunda que ligava a Beira a Guimarães e Braga, atravessando Lamego e o Douro em Porto de Rei, o que evidencia a significativa importância deste conjunto monástico Beneditino na região.
Estamos perante um Mosteiro de enorme beleza e uma importante referência para a região de Felgueiras.
