The church of San Mamede de Vilasouto is located just a few meters from the dammed water of the Vilasouto dam. This old church is of Romanesque origin and is currently unused and is in a state of neglect and progressive deterioration.

Romanesque style church built in the 12th century. After suffering a fire in 1936, the roof and the altarpiece were affected. Although the temple was rehabilitated by the residents themselves, in 1970 it remained since 1970 due to the construction of the Vilasouto reservoir.
