I grew up, I live in Villoria and I grew up playing in and around the church field. What I like least about the church was the iron lock that the priest Ramón, who was from Galicia, put up and left us here when he retired and left for Galicia.

Cardinal Fray Ceferino González y Díaz Tuñón, who was born in Villoria in 1931, was baptized in this church.

Danmark Church

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
