The hermitage of Santa Bàrbara stands on a small promontory in a peaceful elevated setting overlooking the rural landscape of Sant Feliu de Buixalleu. It is a modest sanctuary but one that is well integrated into its surroundings, representative of the local popular religious architecture.
The building has a rectangular floor plan and a pitched roof with a bell gable, giving it its characteristic silhouette. The main façade preserves a blocked opening in a segmental arch with stone voussoirs and jambs, while on a side façade there is the access door, also in a segmental arched stone doorway. On the same side, a small granite slit window stands out.
The ensemble maintains an austere aesthetic, with mostly plastered walls and some sections where the original stone is visible, especially at the corners. This combination of simplicity and robustness gives it the distinctive character of small rural hermitages.
