It is a church that maintains a strong Romanesque accent on its stones, making us remember its antiquity, it dates back to the second half of the 12th century. It has a nave with a rectangular apse, to which you can access through three doors. Its main portal has a toric archivolt framed by a chequered design. The lateral walls have semi-pillars attached to them and inside the barrel vault stands out. The brackets that support the eaves and a Lamb of God are still preserved. The church has been heavily modified since its origin. During the 17th century, a bell-gable was added, formed by two bodies and a bell tower. Very close to the church, we see an oak forest that houses the Chapel of A Saleta and a sulphurous water fountain known as O Bañiño.
