Rendufe is a small parish in the Minho countryside. The Mosteiro de Rendufe, a former Benedictine monastery, is the notable landmark here. The monastery dates from the 12th century, though the current buildings are largely 17th and 18th century. There are no specific pilgrim services in the village.

History

The Mosteiro de Rendufe was founded in the 12th century by Benedictine monks and was an important religious house in the Minho region for centuries. After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1834, the buildings passed into private hands. Parts of the monastery and its church have been restored.
