Priests\' House

Its use was previously associated with a space for support, rest, and retreat.
The priests who served in missions in the interior of the country, often in demanding and isolated conditions, used this house as a temporary refuge when traveling to the coastal area of Benguela. It was a place where they could recover their energy, enjoy some leisure time, breathe the sea air, and maintain direct contact with nature before returning to their missions.
Thus, although it was a space linked to the Church and the clergy, it was not where regular religious activities took place, nor did it function as a church or permanent mission.
Its function was primarily human and practical, providing physical and mental rest to the religious after long periods of pastoral work in the interior.
