The viscounty of Cabrera was a territory, from a religious point of view, formed by a diversity of parishes with their own churches and sanctuaries offering religious services to society. There were also a number of monasteries from various religious orders.

The first mention of this church appears in a papal bull issued by Pope Benedict VI in the year 974, in favour of the Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes. The current building largely reflects a Gothic renovation carried out in the 16th century. The church is structured as a single nave with a semicircular apse and a square bell tower rising above the roof. The tower features two windows and is topped with a crenelated parapet from a later period. The entrance is rectangular and framed by a simple Gothic façade. To reinforce the structure, the building is supported by a series of robust, imposing buttresses. On the north side, there are six, two of which are partially concealed by the side chapels, while on the south side there are only three. Until 1936, when it was destroyed, the church preserved a late Gothic altarpiece dating from the end of the 16th century, depicting the Descent from the Cross, flanked by Saint Sebastian and Saint Roch. Next to the church stand the cemetery and a square-shaped *comunidor*, a traditional structure once used by priests to bless the fields and ward off storms. At the rear of the building lies the rectory.
