The old parish church of Ossela, now the Monastery Chapel, is located in Chousal and is dedicated to St. Sebastian the Martyr. Its foundation date is unknown, but the oldest part of the current temple is the result of a reconstruction carried out in the 17th century, which was renovated in the following century. In 1955, it underwent further renovation, this time with conservation work carried out by the inhabitants of the surrounding areas. Although modest in appearance, we can attribute some Baroque architectural features to it, as it is a building with a longitudinal plan and distinct volumetric elements with a differentiated gabled roof, consisting of a nave, chancel, sacristy on the left side and bell tower. In 2010, it underwent renovation. 15:30 – Guided tour “Along the Paths of Ferreira de Castro” 17:00 – Tasting of local products Free admission The activities that take place alongside the concerts are the responsibility of the respective municipalities co-promoting Sounds in Heritage Sites.
