Later in 1942 the villa was built as a summer residence. It was acquired in 1999 by the Municipality of Marin and today is a center of activities and municipal offices. The name of the property is due to D. Marcelino Briz, married to one of the descendants of the Munaiz family.

There is a strong historical link with the sea, also nowadays its important fishing and commercial port around which the economic life of the town revolves, without forgetting the marina and the military port.
The ´Hórreo´: The ´hórreos´ are traditional architectural elements and are typical of Galicia (also of Asturias and León). They were built in stone and were used and are used to store grain. They are isolated from ground to prevent rodent´s visits.
These are a hórreo and a small carving.
There are archaeological sites, Romanesque churches in Santomé de Piñeiro and Santa María do Campo, Lake Castiñeiras is located in a beautiful natural environment rich in fauna and flora, Finca de Briz which we visit today. These are among others some of the attractions you will find in Marín, without forgetting its lovely beaches along 8 kilometers of coastline.
Since the Escuela Naval Militar (Military Naval School) settled in Marín in 1943 many generations of naval officers have been educated here.

These are the parishes that belong to Marín: Santa Maria do Porto, San Xulian de Marín de Arriba, San Xurxo de Mogor, Nosa Señora do Carme de Seixo, Santa María do Campo, Santomé de Piñeiro and Santa María de Ardán.
