Capela de Santo Antônio do Engenho Novo, Colonial chapel in Goiana, Brazil.

The religious structure presents three main facades and a set of three doors leading to a single nave interior with wooden choir.

Built in the 16th century on a sugar mill estate belonging to André Vidal de Negreiros, a key figure in Pernambuco's restoration against Dutch rule.

The chapel holds the tomb of André Vidal de Negreiros and reflects the architectural transitions of colonial Brazil through its neogothic elements.

The chapel stands at Usina Nossa Senhora das Maravilhas, surrounded by sugarcane fields and fruit trees, approximately 60 kilometers from Recife.

The building received national heritage status in 1938, recorded in the Fine Arts Registry Book under number 228.
