It is a hermitage of small dimensions, rectangular plan, two floors, gabled roof and lateral belfry. The materials used for its construction have been stone blocks bound with mortar, wood and bricks.
The construction of this hermitage, as well as the others of Sant Elies and Sant Roc, is due to the need to provide a secluded and comfortable place for the important characters of the Reformed Carmelite Order who passed through the Desert of Cardó and wanted, during for a few days, to lead the life of an anchorite, following the founding path of Teresa de Jesús.
It was erected by order of the cardinal-archbishop of Toledo, Eminentissimo Señor d. Pascual de Aragon, who did not see it finished. Today its location is unknown, although without a source, it has a well like the Hermitage of the Trinity, which is why it is assumed that both are the same. It was abandoned in 1835 during the exclaustration of the monks.
It is one of those hermitages that D. Salvador Cabestany Garol converted into a farmhouse for the production of the spa itself around 1886, or perhaps, as Gavin points out, around 1920.
