The abandoned chapel of San Vicente del Campo is a temple built in La Herrán, a village near Pámanes in Cantabria. Completed around 1630, only the perimeter walls, remnants of the vault starts, the apse, the bell tower, and the entrance still stand today. The entrance is located on the south facade in a half-arch, and the sacristy is attached to the north facade.
In 1686, the main altarpiece was constructed by the assembler Francisco de Mendoza and the sculptor Pedro Vega Camporredondo. This task cost 1,542 reales.
Repairs were made in 1856, but by the mid-20th century, the building was in ruins. The site preserves the remnants of the vault starts and the entrance on the south facade.
