Chapel of Our Lady of Help, Roman Catholic church in Cachoeira, Brazil.

The single-story stone and lime church displays a nave, chancel, sacristy, porch, and bell tower with a wooden central portal between two windows.

Built between 1673 and 1687 by João Rodrigues Adorno, this structure replaced an earlier chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary from the early 1600s.

The Brotherhood of Our Lady of Help has maintained religious traditions at this site since 1872, preserving local Catholic practices through generations.

The chapel stands on an elevated position in Cachoeira, featuring access to the bell tower and choir through an external stairway.

Religious statues of Saint Francis, Saint Benedict, Saint Lucia, Saint Cajetan, and Saint Peter decorate the interior, alongside a stone-supported pulpit.
