The current building - which dates from the end of the 18th century - has been a national monument since 1954 and has a high heritage and historical value.
In recent years, the church has suffered structural damage, which increased during the earthquake that struck Chile on February 27, 2010, so its demolition will be evaluated.

Attached to the nave, on the same level as the main facade, is the church tower; its area is square, and the crown of the wooden drum, octagonal, containing the bells and which is covered by a curved tower eight tabs covered copper sheets.
