Overview

Fernandes House is a 500 years Heritage house which was built even before the Portuguese arrival. Located in Chandor “Voddlem Ghor” has a large ballroom, spacious verandah, French glass windows, mirrors and crystal chandeliers which adorn the beauty of the place. Tall vases, Piano and lamps add to the unusual style of architecture.

Highlights

  • Under the Portuguese rule, families of Chandor Village(including Fernandes family who were wealthy Brahmins) had to convert to Christianity in order to protect themselves
  • The palatial mansion with 25 rooms reflects a style which is hardly found elsewhere, inspired by European architectural style and having a tint of Hindu culture
  • The house is one storeyed with a hide out at the basement which was, in the olden days supposed to provide an exit through the open passage between the two dining halls to the main gate at the rear
  • After Europeans exit from Goa, the “Voddlem Ghor” or the “Casa Grande” was declared as Fernandes Heritage Home
