This church was mostly built in the 17th century, a building of humble dimensions and characteristics. It has a central nave covered with two waters and a chancel with a wooden structure. On the façade we can see how a humble belfry with two bays rises. Inside, the semicircular arch that leads to the presbytery stands out and is reminiscent of a Romanesque past, then we see a major altarpiece from the late 18th century of Baroque invoice with the sculptures of Santiago Apóstol (on horseback) Saint Peter and the Angel de la Guardia, this church also has a side altarpiece in neoclassical style. The church was formerly attached to the commission of San Xoán and later to that of Barxa de Lor.
