In 1925 this mill was still in operation. The neighbours could access it to grind wheat, either via the horse trail located on its eastern side, or via the road called La Nava for carts. This mill also had a nearby building, the miller's hut, and a dividing wall was also built to allow livestock to be kept.

It was built in 1859. Its main attraction is its neo-Romanesque elements, such as the archivolts at the entrance or its impressive central nave, more than twenty meters long and six meters wide. The stained glass windows on its walls, with their religious motifs, fill the interior with light and color. There are many images that are venerated in the Church. Highlights include the Virgin of Good Counsel, patron saint of the town; San Antonio Abad, male patron saint; the Virgin of Sorrows, a beautiful statue; the Santísimo Cristo de Medinaceli, with a possible Soria origin; or the Recumbent Christ, a superb carving of the Son of God. During the Civil War the Church was looted and lost some images and relics. For this and other reasons, the temple had to be renovated, starting with moving the belfry and its heavy cast iron bell to the entrance to the Church square.
