The Convent of São Jorge de Milreus, located in the parish of Castelo Viegas, was founded in 1080.
By the mid-twelfth century, the Convent would have attained great prosperity, as appears to be apparent from the great donation that Salvador Viegas made to the cenobium in 1159 of a remarkable array of goods in the immediate vicinity.
What can be seen today in São Jorge de Milreus is the product of a major remodeling campaign carried out from 1526. This monumental Mannerist campaign was one of many Jesuits throughout the country, entering in the institution's government precisely in this 16th century. For the next two centuries, the convent was the subject of numerous partial artistic campaigns, notably the tiled coverings of the church and the chapter room, dating from the first half of the 18th century, and the joanine painting campaign by André Gonçalves for the chapel. love the church.
From 1834, with the passage to the possession of private, Milreus saw his artistic heritage successively alienated, although his space has always had occupation.
