Summary

Description
English: Manor house dated at end of the 16th century known as "casa torcida" (lit. twisted house) in Saldaña (Palencia, Castile and León). Located in Marquis of Valdavia Square, there are two theories about its unusual shape. The first one refers that the ground subsided and in time the house's post-and-beam structure adjusted to the change. The second one states that it was built this way on purpose to facilitate the loading and unloading of grain from the first floor.
