Architecture:

In 1867 Queilen was a little Chilote port with a church. Around 1924 it comprised a few houses, a plaza, chapel, post office, customs, telegraph, civil registry and state schools. In 1937 a fire destroyed 15 houses, this, added to the isolation of the community, contributed to emigration towards Castro and Ancud. There was a gradual degeneration of the visual quality of the town, which is now being reversed by the incentive of tourism.
