history

Today's mansion is a product of several construction phases. The nucleus was formed by a villa from 1663. Today's vaulted cellar is the oldest fragment of Lamancha and comes from the original building. Before 1832 the manor house was extended and added again this year. In 1927 it was redesigned and reduced in size, giving it its current appearance. The executive architect was J. Drummond Beaton .
