The old parish church stood in Rubial. It was a small Romanesque building whose condition and need for rebuilding led to the decision to build a new one at the beginning of the last century. Work began on 2 June 1915, closely following the plans of the Compostela architect Jesús López de Rego. The building, with a Latin-cross plan and large stained-glass windows, is Neo-Gothic, a style that returned to ideal models of the past in search of constructive perfection, combining stone and glass. The church stands out for its marked verticality and great height, and for its buttresses, pointed arches, tall pillars, rib vaults and the tower on its façade.
The tower was only completed in 1990, after more than five decades of abandoned works. In 2005 new coloured stained-glass windows, with religious imagery related to the parish, replaced the old plain glass.
