San Luis chapel
An out-of-walls seat for a brotherhood

This chapel was built in the mid 17^th century by the Third Order brotherhood, a secular order that thrived in Peñaranda and was wealthy enough to afford a building like this for its seat.

In architectural terms, its eastern side was built in mud-plastered brick, while the western side is made of exposed brick work. The north-facing portal is from the second half of the 18^th century, and its finished with a niche where the patron saint is surrounded by Rococo decoration.

Inside, there is a main altarpiece with two horizontal sections and three vertical panels, crowned by an Immaculate Conception statue from the 18^th century.

However, the statue in this temple that arouses the main devotion from the locals is that of the Santo Cristo de la Agonía (Christ of the Agony), whom some link to the Gregorio Fernández school and which is taken out for a parade both for Easter and during the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
