It was in the fishing village of Póvoa do Varzim that, in 1582, the Chapel of São Roque was built, on the initiative of Diogo Peres de São Pedro and his wife Maria Fernandes de Faria. The place where the chapel was built was on the outskirts of the sea cove and close to the Trempes or Lavadeira stream as it was referred to in 1679, considered a strategic area of the village.
