Castroverde gained special importance throughout the second half of the 12th century and the first years of the 13th as it was a fortified core of the Leonese defensive system in the Tierra de Campos area. Ferdinand II provided it with its defenses and in 1201 it was granted a charter, which included jurisdiction over its extensive alfoz. Their churches were built and reformed, as well as the walls of the town and the castle.

The church of Saint Nicholas appears documented in 1126, although its remains date from the early years of the 13th century. From this period, the tower stands out, as well as the medieval façade and a funerary chapel attached to the south wall of the nave.
