Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Conceição

The Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Conceição is a Catholic church in central Resende featuring two prominent towers and traditional religious architecture. It sits on Oliveira Botelho Square and marks the heart of the city center with its distinctive appearance.

Construction began in 1812 through community donations, with local residents providing labor and materials for its development. The building underwent significant transformation after destruction and subsequent rebuilding.

The church remains a center for worship and religious celebrations in the Resende community. It reflects the faith and commitment of local residents who gather there regularly.

The church is easily accessible through Oliveira Botelho Square in downtown Resende. Parking spaces are available on surrounding streets for visitors.

A severe fire in 1945 destroyed much of the building, but the community worked together to rebuild it. The original twin towers survived this devastating time and stand today as a symbol of resilience.
