In Casa de Chouzas, three 19th-century granaries join the solarengo building highlighted by the Municipality. The set approximates two functions: inhabit and guard the harvest. Instead of looking only at the main house, it is also worth recognizing the importance of agricultural support constructions.
The presentation of Vilar de Cunhas frame this heritage in a plateau and mountain landscape, marked by agriculture and pastoral care. The house and the willows can be read in this work context, without the source detail the production of each property.
The dating of the house is less firm: the municipality presents it as perhaps nineteenth century, while it attributes the granaries to the nineteenth century. This difference must remain visible. The photograph that accompanies the reading shows the portal; it does not show the three granaries. The heritage reference does not confirm access to the set.
The harvest also had architecture
