It was very badly damaged following the 1755 Lisbon earthquake and was in a terrible state by the 1790's .
It was rebuilt and renovated in the 1820's and now I think houses the Portuguese Military Academy.

House of the Gentlemen:

The house was built in the 19th century. XVII by Domingos de Sampaio do Amaral on the occasion of the marriage of his daughter D. Joana de Sampaio with João de Almeida Castelo Branco, who would become the holders of the captaincy-major of the municipality of Senhorim and the founders of the estate of Santar. It was passed from generation to generation until, in 1975, Pedro Brum da Silveira Pinto donated it to the representative of the Portuguese royal house, D. Duarte Pio, and to his brother, D. Miguel de Bragança, Duke of Viseu.

A few days ago I visited the Ducal Palace in Vila Viçosa for the first time.
I can say that it is very well preserved and I learned that one of the last banquets held in this palace was in honor of King Alfonso XIII of Spain.

This video was uploaded 7 days ago and I found it in my recommendations. I was impressed with the footage and even looked it up in google 360 maps street view - hint, you can 'walk' around the palace grounds by just pointing the mouse on the white > symbol and clicking on it and zoom in and out with the wheel to read the messages on the sculptures. Happy 'walking'!
