In 1537 Bishop Bernardo Clesio, during his pastoral visit, found a chapel dedicated to Saint Agnes near the masi of Sfruz. It was later rededicated to Saint Agatha, and in 1579 it had, besides the high altar, the side altar of San Giorgio; the altar of Santa Lucia was built in 1616.

At the beginning of the 18th century it was decided to rebuild it. The foundation stone was laid in 1729 and the church, designed by Pietro Bianchi, was probably finished in 1744, the date carved on the entrance portal; in 1766, however, it was still unconsecrated. The bell tower had been raised in 1747, and on 12 October 1808 the church became an espositura dependent on the pieve of Santa Maria Assunta of Smarano.

In 1889 the interior was altered, with a new floor and high altar, and in 1913 Domenico Primon of Bassano decorated the vault of the presbytery. The three bells of 1921, made by the Cremona firm Francesco D'Adda, replaced those that the Austrian army had requisitioned during the First World War. On 15 July 1922 the church was granted parish status.

Today in the valleys

Just a moment...

Gipthe bearded vulture of Valli del Noce

Hi, I am Gip. I am a bearded vulture: my species had vanished from the Alps in the 1930s, and the first one born in Trentino in at least a hundred and fifty years took flight from Val di Rabbi this past 16 July.

Ask me about places, the valleys or the people who work here. I answer with what is in our pages: if I do not know something, I will tell you.
