A partir del S.XVI, Guimarães vivió un período de rápido crecimiento urbanístico, con la expansión de la ciudad hacia el exterior de las murallas medievales. Uno de los nuevos núcleos urbanos instalados fue el lugar donde se construyó la iglesia de la Misericordia, lo que supuso la apertura de una plaza fronteriza y nuevas calles en los alrededores. Aquí se construyeron algunas de las casas señoriales más importantes del pueblo en los S.XVI y XVII, entre ellas esta Casa das Rótulas, de principios del S.XVII. De planta rectangular, el edificio se divide en dos plantas, manteniendo la estructura de piedra en la planta baja, mientras que en la planta superior la fachada principal está totalmente cubierta por bisagras de madera, y la lateral por paneles revestidos de pizarra, y desgarrada por dos ventanas de guillotina rectangulares que mantiene su tipología primitiva.
From the 16th century on, Guimarães experienced a period of rapid urban growth, with the expansion of the city towards the outside of the medieval walls. One of the new urban centers installed was the place where the Misericordia church was built, which led to the opening of a border square and new streets in the surroundings. Here some of the most important manor houses in the town were built in the 16th and 17th centuries, including this Casa das Rótulas, from the early 17th century. Rectangular in plan, the building is divided into two floors, maintaining the stone structure on the ground floor, while on the upper floor the main facade is completely covered by wooden hinges, and the side by slate-clad panels, and torn by two rectangular guillotine windows that maintains its primitive typology.
