About Centro Cultural Castrolanda
The Castrolanda mill is the architectural reference of the cultural center. The complex presents the colony's history and the relationship between Dutch immigration, rural production, and the municipality of Castro.
The mill and the memory spaces are part of the same complex. Check with the cultural center to choose the type of visit and to arrange entry into the exhibition spaces.
The colony is located outside Castro's historic core. Include the round-trip travel time when planning a day combined with the Museu do Tropeiro. The cultural center represents a different stage in the municipality's formation, associated with the community that organized Castrolanda.
