The sanctuary is baroque in style with influences from classicism. The first written document that remains of the temple is from the year 1544. The chapel was rebuilt several times, until the current one was built at the beginning of the 18th century, in 1719, thanks to the donation of the Counts of Maceda, whose ashes are found in some tombs inside the sanctuary.

On the evening of December 25, 2013, after a lightning strike during the Christmas storm, a fire destroyed the attic and part of Sanctuary Da Nosa Senora da Barca (Marian Shrine of the Mermaid). The church is an important place of pilgrimage in Galicia and another destination for many pilgrims after they have reached Santiago de Compostela.
