The Manor of Sezim (Portuguese: Casa Grande/Paços de Sezim) is an 18th-century crested-manor home in the civil parish of Nespereira, in the municipality of Guimarães, located four kilometres southwest of Guimarães. Although currently known for its famous white wines, it is historically tided to the foundations of the Portuguese kingdom, showing characteristics common to the 15th and, latter, 18th centuries. This includes its complex and valuable wallpapers by Zuber & Cie, depicting imagery linked to the Portuguese Empire, European history and America.
