Parish Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, Colonial Catholic church in Lavras, Brazil.

The Parish Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Lavras is a colonial church built with stone and brick using Portuguese architectural methods. The building displays the structural features typical of Portuguese colonial churches that once dotted the region during the settlement period.

The church was built during the Portuguese colonial period and stands as a testament to that era in Minas Gerais. It received official national heritage protection status in 1948, recognizing its importance to Brazilian history.

Since 13 October 1990 the church has housed the Museu Sacro de Lavras, created jointly by the Sant'Ana parish, the town council and the Museu Bi Moreira. Its collection centres on life-size polychrome wooden images used in Holy Week processions, among them the Senhor do Triunfo, Senhor dos Passos, Nossa Senhora das Dores, Bom Jesus da Cana Verde and Senhor Morto.

The church was closed from 1964 to 1982 and reopened on 8 May 1982 after restoration by the firm Artes Litúrgicas Santa Rita under restorer Elio de Oliveira. Since 13 October 1990 it has housed the Museu Sacro de Lavras, so visits combine the colonial nave with a sacred art collection. The square around it, Praça João Oscar de Pádua, was repaved with new stones in 2019.

The building displays Portuguese architectural influences as they developed in 18th-century Minas Gerais, preserving these features across centuries. These specific architectural details make it a rare example of authentic Portuguese colonial construction in the region.
