Built in the 14th century, it is one of the oldest churches in Castelo de Vide. It belonged to the Order of Malta and was a commandery of nuns from Estremoz, who presumably founded the church. After several renovations over the centuries, it features Gothic and Baroque architecture. It consists of a single nave and a rectangular choir with a bell tower and sacristy. The main altarpiece is Baroque.
