The construction of the factory dates back to the 16th century or early 17th century. The hermitage has two construction techniques, one poorer, which is located from the doorway to the middle of the nave, it would be the oldest part and from the middle to the head it would be the newest part. The building has a rich collection of imagery, highlighting a dressing baby Jesus and a crucified Christ, the interior of the building still has the last plastering, this helps to better understand the building as it was originally. From the outside, the following stand out: the plastering of the main façade (altered in the upper part of the doorway because several square meters of it were chipped) and the plastering of the main chapel. From the inside, it is worth noting that the temple is made up of a single nave covered by a barrel vault which is reinforced by four transverse arches, the altar has a niche flanked on both sides by two doors. From the outside, the eight buttresses located in the canvases of the side walls right where the transverse arches are located stand out. Inside, on the left side at the head there is a stone staircase. On the main façade there is the main entrance made in a polylobed semicircular arch on the outside, flanked on both sides by two small windows.
