The first information written about this parish is gathered in the book Bump from Samos, being the copy of a writing dated in the year 973. For this document we know that Mendo Díaz left several possessions that it had in Cervela to the Samos monastery. Inside the parochial term there exists a megalithic deposit located in the precincts of Fruxilde; also close to the Sorrow village and, close to the chapel of San Roque exists a clayish rock with several petroglifos insculpidos. Of the medieval epoch we have left the stately house of Castrogude, one of the first elevated palatial constructions in the grounds of O Incio. The parochial temple is of style Romanesque. (Text of the delegation of Lugo).
Parochial temple: The work Romanesque came almost complete up to us, with the exception of bulrush, the veranda that protects the entry and the vestry, all this reconstructed throughout the XVIIIth century. Rectangular plant with roof to two waters and covering of "lousas do country". The tajeroz covers the whole factory resting on canecillos, decorated for varied and sober geometric forms; those who are in the linen north side street of the ship have in his projecting angle forms decorative checkered, while those of the south wall are worked in bevel with jerky rhombs. The front half a point is formed by arch of with two archivolts of baquetón finished off in the part exterior for other one simpler and decorated by means of a chain of continuous balls; these arches protect the eardrum in whose center has sculpted a circle that inscribes a cross kick. The apse is lower and limited than the ship, with the side walls reinforced by buttresses; one covers the top perimeter canecillos line. (Text of Turgalicia direction Xeral of Tourism).
