The Tejupeba House and the Chapel of the Colégio Sugar Plantation () is a plantation house and chapel in Itaporanga d'Ajuda, Sergipe, Brazil. The church dates to the Jesuit settlement of Santo Ignácio, located in present-day Itaporanga d'Ajuda, in 1575. It is one of many locations cited as the first Jesuits settlement in Portuguese Brazil, and one of many Jesuit slave-holding properties in Latin America. The house and chapel were listed as a historic structure by the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage in 1943. The architectural historian Maria Berthilde Moura Filha stated that "of the remaining sugar plantations in Sergipe, this is the one with the oldest known references." Read more on Wikipedia
