    Church of the old village of Valmayor, it became a Hermitage in 1648, when the town was declared depopulated as a result of the plague of 1600. Built from a legendary apparition of the Virgin of Hope to some shepherds.
    Recently rebuilt, the chancel and belfry are preserved, with a nave with a pointed arch and a main chapel with cross vaults. The interior altarpiece from the 17th century. XVII, represents a modern image of the Virgin, imitating the one that disappeared in 1936. This is taken to the town in May, to be returned in a pilgrimage in June.

    Valmayor was an ancient village in Valdemorillo that, it seems, once had a significant population and was depopulated following the plague of 1600. In 1648 the village was declared depopulated and its church became a hermitage.

    Legend has it that the Virgin of Hope appeared to some shepherds and asked them to build a chapel in her honour on this site, and in this way the old parish church, now converted into the Hermitage of Valmayor, was created.
