Church of Saint Michael the Archangel, Catholic church in Garbagna Novarese, Italy

The church of Saint Michael the Archangel is the parish church of Garbagna Novarese. It has a single nave with a semicircular apse and a bell tower thirty braccia high to the left of the choir. The building was enlarged in the early 19th century with two side aisles, and a third aisle was added around 1850 on the bell tower side.

The original structure was built in 1596 to replace an earlier religious building that served the expanding community. A chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes was added in 1914.

The name comes from the Archangel Michael, to whom the Lombards dedicated their chapel; Lombard custom placed cemeteries away from settlements with chapels to Michael, who weighed souls after death. A 1669 donation of relics may have included a fragment of the Holy Cross, confirmed in an 1853 inventory. An affresco of Saint Helena in the Oratory of Santa Maria is linked to that relic's cult.

The church stands in the centre of Garbagna Novarese, near the castle ditch that once enclosed it. The entrance now faces east toward the village, while the choir was moved west in 1792. The bell tower, raised in 1832, is on the left of the choir.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes, added in 1914, recreates the original grotto inside the church and displays a portrait of the donor Clara Gavinelli. This artwork documents a personal act of devotion from someone in the local community.
