Thanks to Mrs. Laura (Parre Proloco) we introduce to you this little jewel of the Orobie Alps, a place of worship of course but also a beautiful place for real nature lovers.

The church stands at the top of the mount Cϋsen (2499 ft. above sea level) just above Parre. From its arcaded loggia you can get a bird’s eye view over the woods, the grasses and the mountains.
The church can be reached on foot from Parre along a mule path and a stepped path or by car, but only for a while.

The place however deserves this effort.

A bit of history:
It was probably built above the ruins of a 13th century chapel and the first documentation of the present church dates back to August 1526 for a visit of the bishop Federico Cornar.
The stone steeple is dated 1610, while the loggia in Sarnico stone and the adjacent house (now inhabited by the keeper) go back to the early 18th century.
The renovation (1996-2000) gave back some valuable frescoes of 16th century.
The place has been preserved by the continuous presence of a hermit.
