This church was originally built in a Romanesque style but it was deeply modified at a later time. Nowadays its main facade shows the neoclassical style with a triangle-shaped piece. The apse which is built in granite and it has got two pointed arches is included in Romanesque style.

A rose window above the main arch lets in the light. Inside there is an imposing altarpiece at the high altar  made by José Ferreiro and the painter Landeira (s. XVIII).
