Igreja Paroquial de Atei / Igreja de São Pedro

The construction of the Church of Atei probably dates back to the 14th century, featuring late Romanesque architecture. In the 16th century, a chapel was added to it, by order of the Counts of Cantanhede. Later, in the 19th century, other chapels and the main chapel were added to it, giving it its current appearance. Inside, the 19th century altars stand out, with gilded and painted carvings, in a neoclassical style. The collateral chapels, with a round arch opening topped with a fleur-de-lis, boast altars, in painted and gilded carving, dedicated, on the Epistle side, to Our Lady of Sorrows, while on the Gospel side the altar is dedicated to Our Lady. IOuside, there is a structured tomb with slabs and a smooth tomb lid. The primitive baptismal font, monolithic and with a polygonal outline, is located in the backyard of the Parish Residence.
