This church is an integral part of the village of Odeleite landscape and since 1534 is part of the history of the municipality of Castro Marim. This place was then called Delight place where stood a hill that looked facing the Church of Our Lady of the Visitation.

This church was visited by two Visitations, the 1534 and 1565, who described it in its original form.

It is thought that this temple would have been built after the previous Visitation of 1518, there derives its internal typology of Mendicant Church, that is, referring to the Gothic period. The 1534 visitation notes that the ceiling of the church was lined with chestnut wood with reeds and the bell tower existed on the main portal.

The Visitation 1565 tells us that this church was "brushed off" the village, and describe it as: the ceiling of the church was "scissored in wood and lined cane"; on the triumphal arch there was a major crucifix; font was left at the entrance, and was surrounded by bars, meeting at this time, patrons of the parish, in works, to place in the village of Delight.
