At the foot of the leafy De Todos oak grove, in Valvanuz, this building stands on top of another primitive one, of reduced dimensions, which dates back to around the 12th century. Its extension takes place under the protection, perhaps, of Royal patronage, which justifies a coat of arms on the portico of the hermitage, dated 1682, which reads "Long live the King of Castile, patron saint of this chapel".

The most important element of the temple is the wood carving of the seated virgin from the end of the 12th century; in his right hand he holds a sphere, and in his left, on his knee, the child. She appears dressed in a tunic and cloak. Currently it is shown in a silver dressing room made with the contributions of the faithful.
