Located in the tiny rural village of Pàstine, in the countryside of Barberino Val d'Elsa, it stands on what was one of the main communication routes between the ancient Via Francigena and the Via Cassia. Formerly part of the district of Semifonte, the church dates back to the medieval period, when a 12th-century document from the Badia a Passignano mentions it, attesting to its existence.
After the Battle of Montaperti, the whole hamlet and thus also the church were plundered by the Ghibellines. In the Renaissance it came under the protection of the Serragli family, whose coat of arms is present on the facade, and later in the 1700s in the hands of the Torrigiani family, which promoted new interventions including the construction of a new altar; in 1986 it was then deconsecrated.
The structure of the church is simple and sober, in keeping with the Romanesque style. The gabled facade is essential, with a portal consisting of lintel and lunette presumably original to the period and a small rose window that allows light to enter the building.
It has a single nave culminating in an apsidal vault, the interior is plastered following renovations and bare having been converted into an agricultural annex after deconsecration. Despite this it retains the austere and contemplative atmosphere typical of country places of worship.
