Built in 1263, it has a façade with regular stone ashlars and an architraved portal surmounted by a pointed arch. The salients of the gabled roof are decorated with brick-lined cornices; the bell gable is from the eighteenth century.
On the architrave is an inscription enclosed by two Maltese Crosses - the ancient symbol of the Templars -, while the eye is surmounted by the Olivetan coat of arms because after the suppression of the chivalric order the Abbey passed to the Olivetan Monks.
Inside, with a single rectangular hall and a wooden truss roof, there are two fifteenth-century frescoes depicting the "Madonna with Child and Saints Peter and Paul and Saint Jerome Enthroned and Saints Sebastian and Benedict".
