Description

The central nave rises higher than the lateral ones, and the structure is defined by a baroque altarpiece from the 17th century.
History
The building was constructed in 1879 and combines a baroque altarpiece from the 17th century with later modifications that adapted the sanctuary to the community's changing needs. This blend of older artistic elements with newer construction reflects the enduring importance of this place for the local community.
