Culture and history

The parish church of Quintana de Raneros is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. Quintana de Raneros is also home to a heavily restored two-storey manor house. The manor house has an entrance door made of sandstone blocks in the form of a round arch. On its front façade, at second-floor level, there is a heraldic stone carving that has been preserved in an acceptable state of conservation.

The place name Raneros is documented in a document from 1038 as “Oncina ubi dicent ranarios”. The shared pendón of Quintana and Raneros is the distinctive banner of the inhabitants of this place. Quintana and Raneros were brought together by the railway stop on the León–Astorga line and referred to as Quintana de Raneros or Quintana-Raneros.
