Chiesa di Madonna dell'Olmo, Parish church and shrine in Madonna dell'Olmo, Cuneo, Italy.

The church features a single nave with lateral chapels introduced by rounded arches, walls supported by pilasters, and a bell tower with an octagonal drum.

Augustinian monks started building the original church and cloister in 1594, completing construction in 1609, with the dome added to the structure in 1648.

The main altarpiece displays a 16th-century painting depicting the Madonna dell'Olmo between Saint Francis and Saint Bernard, representing local religious art traditions.

Located at an elevation of 535 meters, the church remains an active parish within the Diocese of Cuneo-Fossano, serving the Oltrestura pastoral zone.

Two large 17th-century canvases by Antonino Parentani, who worked for the Turin court, display saints from the Carthusian order inside the church.
