Chiesa di Nostra Signora del Cadore

Chiesa di Nostra Signora del Cadore, Mountain church in Borca di Cadore, Italy

The church features a double cabin shape with a 68-meter bell tower and stands at 1000 meters altitude facing the Boite valley and Pelmo mountain.

Construction began in 1958 under architects Edoardo Gellner and Carlo Scarpa, with the church's inauguration taking place in 1961 attended by Enrico Mattei.

The interior combines iron, wood, cement, steel, and dolomite stone materials, with Murano glass chandeliers in orange and green reflecting the mountain landscape.

The church remains open to visitors during summer days and accommodates up to 350 people across three naves with interlocked wooden benches.

The altar faces the congregation, an architectural innovation that preceded similar changes implemented by the Second Vatican Council years later.
