The web site of the municipality [http://villalcazardesirga.es/index.php/municipio/historia/] [accessed 12 August 2019] notes that this rural chapel was earlier a parish church in town, one of four [="la ermita actual de Nuestra Señora del Río, que también fuera parroquia."] The present church appears to be of the 17th-18thC, but the original building may have gone back to the 11th or 12th century; is located about a km from the town centre.
