Chiesa della Madonna d'Erbia

The Chiesa della Madonna d'Erbia is a shrine in Casnigo with a Latin cross design and Baroque interior features. Its walls display numerous paintings, sculptures, and religious objects collected over centuries of worship and devotion.

Local residents built the sanctuary in the late 1700s, and it received its official blessing in 1813 to serve the community's spiritual needs. The construction reflected the religious devotion of the area during that period.

The sanctuary displays the final ceremonial vestment worn by Pope John Paul II in a glass case, creating a focal point for visitors seeking spiritual connection and prayer.

The sanctuary welcomes visitors during regular opening hours for prayer and contemplation, with space for both private reflection and group gatherings. Respectful dress and quiet behavior help visitors experience the serene worship environment.

Within the building stands the remains of an original farmhouse section containing a medieval painting of the Madonna. Local records describe this artwork as having been mysteriously restored multiple times after sustaining damage.
