The church was erected by the Fraternity of Our Lady, in the Lokavje filed, in the first half of the 14th century. In the early 16th century, on its foundations a new one was built, by its style the most beautiful church of Lastovo. The local tradition has it that it was built by Dobre Dobričević, while his sister Dobra stimulated the workers by playing tambourine. The altar painting is by Piero Francesco Bissolo, showing the Madonna with the Son and Saints, and the very Dobre kneeling as the donor. In the girl playing an instrument in the middle of the painting , the people has recognized his sister Dobra. The wooden altar was replaced with a much larger, stone one in 1807. The two lateral altars were removed too, one taken to the church of St.Roko, the other to that of St.Salvator.

Lokacija
Mjesto Lastovo staro je srednjovjekovno naselje amfiteatralnog oblika s dugom i zanimljivom poviješću. Jedino je naselje na otoku koje se ne nalazi neposredno uz more. Okruženo je brdima, a na svakom od njih je vidikovac s kojeg se pruža pogled na mjesto i okolna polja. Obiteljske kuće iz 15. i 16. stoljeća krase lastovski “sulari” (terase) i bogato ukrašeni “fumari” (dimnjaci) koji su postali zaštitni znak Lastova. Lastovske skalinade (kamene stepenice) obavijaju staru jezgru oko crkve i šire se te obogaćuju poseban mediteranski ugođaj.
