Consecrated in 1611, the church of Lostallo stands out for its enchanting frescoes on the walls.

Description

The church, which depends on the parish church of Lostallo, was consecrated in 1611. The last restoration dates from 1962-1963 and 1977. It is a sober longitudinal construction with a square choir. On the north side of the building stands a majestic bell tower covered by a stone roof. The church has beautiful exterior frescoes dating back to 1611: on the south side the Madonna between Saints Nicholas and Mary Magdalene; on the façade, Saint Christopher in a tympanum frame that evokes the ancient presence of a portico. The illusionistic decorations around the portal date back to the 18th century. The three stucco altars date from 1767. During the last restoration of the frescoes, very interesting landscape views were brought to light along the choir cornice.
