The church, built during the second half of the 15h century as desired by the Santa Marta brotherhood, a governing institution established in 1460, it was rebuilt towards the end of the 16th century.
In 1622, at the right of the entrance, the oratory had already been built where the brothers met on non-work days to recital of the office of the Blessed Virgin Mary and where sacred furnishings and ecclesiastic vestments. Subsequent changes and additions moulded the entire structure according to the Baroque style that was still visible. The current facade of the church, in its essential lines, remain what it was in the middle of the 17th century, adorned with eight columns, fur upper ones and four lower ones. The oratory kept a small quadrangular dome in the centre with a cross-shaped vault above it, probably the same dome already described by the Bishop Asinari during his parochial visit in 1651. Historical documents witness how the entire devotional complex was richly adorned, both in the church altars and in the adjacent oratory; today the furnishings and the painting are the only remains of an altar and traces of frescos from the presbytery and certain lunettes in the side walls of the oratory. The sacred place, definitively closed to worship after the second world war, was purchased in the 1970’s for a symbolic amount by the Ivrea Municipality who restored it and set it up as a conference room. One last thing to point out is that the beautiful Baroque church door has now been paced at the entrance of the parochial church of San Bernando D’Ivrea.
