The Mother Church stands in the locality of Fataunços, part of the parish of Fataunços e Figueiredo das Donas, in the municipality of Vouzela. Positioned in the heart of the settlement, the church constitutes a landmark and a central element in the village's urban landscape, easily visible and accessible to those who walk its streets.
The temple observed today in Fataunços was not the first to exist on this site. The current church is the result of a construction that began in the late 17th century and extended into the early years of the 18th century, replacing an older religious structure. This evolution reflects the history and development of the local community over time.
The Mother Church of Fataunços exhibits an architectural style of Baroque inspiration, evident in its volume and decorative details. Inside, the visitor's attention is naturally drawn to the artistic emphasis of the chancel. It is in this space that a coffered ceiling stands out, carefully painted with floral motifs, creating a distinct visual atmosphere. Additionally, the altarpiece of gilded woodwork enriches this ensemble, testifying to the artistic mastery of the period and the devotion that presided over its creation.
