Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie di Castelluccio Valmaggiore

On a tree-lined square there is the Church of S. Maria delle Grazie, dating back to the sixteenth century. and formerly pertaining to a convent complex.

The place

The church, once dedicated to Our Lady of the Belt, has a classical façade with a beautiful stone portal with tympanum, on whose architrave is written "in me every grace". Next to the church stands the kindergarten built on the foundations of the ancient cenobium of the barefoot Augustinians. Most likely the church also insists on an older factory, as evidenced by the inscription on stone, found during the restoration carried out in 1880, which bears the date MCXIV (1114). The interior has a single nave ending in a round apse that houses the polychrome altar and the wooden group of Maria Bambina tra angeli, the work of the famous laboratory Stuffleser Ortisei.
