The Chapel of Our Lady of the Conception of Engenho Poxim (Portuguese: Capela de Nossa Senhora da Conceição do Engenho Poxim) is an 18th-century Roman Catholic church in São Cristóvão, Sergipe, Brazil. It was built as part of the Engenho Poxim sugarcane plantation, which existed along the Poxim Açu River, a small branch of the Poxim River, in the southwest of the municipality of São Cristóvão. The church is located in a remote, rural setting in the present-day Rosa Luxemburgo II settlement. It was listed as a historic structure by National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN) in 1943. It church has fallen into a state of neglect and lacks the interior elements present at the time of its survey and federal historical designation.[1][2]
