In the 18th century, the estate was described as encircled by lands cultivated with rye, corn, wheat, sweet chestnut and oak trees. Around the houses were the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Ajuda, and near the ravine, the Chapel of São Miguel, patronized by the masters of Ferreira. The chapel had a presbytery supported by 50 simple, annual masses and two oratories, for which it received 254 alqueires of rye and 14 chickens in payment. By 1702, this meager supported allowed, along with donations the renovation of the retable of the chapel. In 1898, the chapel dedicated to Nossa Senhora do Amparo was re edified by order of D. Maria da Piedade Caetano Álvares Pereira de Melo, 7th Duchess of Cadaval, 9th Marquess of Ferreira and 10th Countess of Tentúgal.
