Parish church of Casez, a hamlet of Sanzeno. It was built starting from 1200 and completed within the first half of the century; the first written mentions date from 1264.
The fresco decoration arrived more than two centuries later, probably together with a reconstruction that enlarged the building, and the solemn consecration was celebrated in 1497 by the suffragan bishop Francesco De la Chiesa. Then, following the pastoral visitation of 1616, the frescoed parts were whitewashed.
In 1635 the church was raised to primissaria of the pieve of Sanzeno, with its own priest, and from 1665 it obtained the status of curacy.
