The church, designed by Bernardo Vittone, was built in the 18th century and terminated in 1760.

It has a particular pagoda shape with three overlapping orders and represents one of the most elegant baroque monuments of low Monferrato.

Note: though work of Vittone, this construction is very distant from the heavy rigidity of the buildings he designed, both in Monferrato, and in other areas. This isolated church, equipped with airy grace, is an excellent destination for walks.

Artworks and objects inside: The interior is decorated with pilasters and capitals. The beautiful drawing makes us capture the importance this construction once had. There are no artworks preserved inside.
