The church is located on a small hill, just north of the town of Dro, and probably dates back to 1485, while the lintel plate, which bears the date of 1521, refers to a subsequent restoration, a period to which almost certainly date back the frescoes inside too.

Every year on April 2 the population of Dro comes here to celebrate the arrival of summer and remember the time when the saint (also considered the protector of birth) was asked for a good harvest. Recently, here also takes place the anniversary of "the twelve Saturdays" in memory of the plague of 1630, from which the local community was fortunately preserved.

In 1992, in part with public funds, in part thanks to donations, a new restoration was made, which brought the church to its former beauty, after a period of partial degradation.
