The Chapel of Our Lady of Health is located in Carvalhal da Mulher, a village integrated into the Union of Parishes of Caparrosa and Silvares, in the municipality of Tondela. Nestled in a serene rural area, the chapel benefits from a position that offers views of the surrounding landscape, contributing to the natural beauty of the village.
Dating back to the 19th century, this chapel is an example of the region's traditional religious architecture. Following recent interventions, its tower was restored, recovering its original design and once again displaying a belfry, a distinctive element that enhances its profile. The churchyard and surrounding walls were also redeveloped, creating a harmonious and inviting ensemble.
More than just a building, the Chapel of Our Lady of Health is considered one of the most beautiful spots in Carvalhal da Mulher, sometimes dubbed the village's "drawing-room". The site, with its breathtaking landscape, provides an atmosphere of tranquility and reflection. It is a place of great significance for the community, serving as a focal point of unity and guardian of the village's collective memory.
