The medieval church Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria da Visitação de Castro Laboreiro, or simply Igreja de Santa Maria da Visitação (Visitation of the Virgin Mary) or Igreja Matriz de Castro Laboreiro, is located in the small town (Portuguese: Vila) of Castro Laboreiro. The church was first mentioned in 1241, when the monastery of Celanova transferred ownership of the church to Sancho II (Portuguese: Sancho II o Capelo). In 1319, the church was entrusted to the Knights of the Order of Christ of Bragança.
