The structure of the church was composed of a votive chapel belonging to the Orsini family. After the passing of Saint Francis, it underwent several transformations until it reached its current style.

In the first phase it was a typical barn church which took on a Baroque style after its restoration in 1628. In 1803 this church was occupied by French troops until the fall of Napoleon; from 1820 to 1875 it was privately owned, then it was sold the Municipality of Vicovaro. Inside the church, there is a cross vault on the choir and on the nave. Aligned with the choir, some barrel vaults with lunettes were built on the apse. On the façade, the portal is flanked by two pilasters: the angular ones are bigger and those near the portal are smaller. The portal is aligned with a big window, now closed by a wall painting of Our Lady of Grace. Above it, there is a gable with an oculus at its centre. Currently the former Church of Saint Mary of Grace is the seat of the Mu.Vi.S, "Museo di vie e Storie" (Streets and History Museum), realized by the institution: Parco Naturale Regionale dei Monti Lucretili. The museum offers multimedia paths, interactive stations and scenic projections which show, in a modern key, the traditions, the myths and the legends that have made this territory unique in its genre.
