The first stone church in Tanay was built in 1680 at the present location of Tanay Park.
The present church was rebuilt and constructed in 1773 and it was completed in 1783. It is an example of early Renaissance Architecture.
The church is famous for its beautiful 'retablos' (altars) and 14 'Via Crucis' or Station of the Cross curved in bass relief of wood, and other antiques.
It is also famed as one of the very few churches in the country featuring Rococo Artwork, a style popular during the 18th century characterized by curves and goldleaf.
