Beautiful church in very green surroundings. Ship and choir have flat beamed ceiling, but the choir has previously had vault. The altarpiece is a Renaissance work from the beginning of the 1600s, with the Lord as the main motif and Isaac's sacrifice and the copper snake in the side wings. From a former altarpiece comes a figure of Saint Chrysogonus, who wears a cloak over the armor. The pulpit is from 1882 in a Renaissance / Baroque blending style. The baptismal font is a simple granite font. The organ is from 1882 and renovated by Marcussen & Søn in Aabenraa, most recently in December 2009-January 2010.

Redipuglia World War I Memorial

Redipuglia is the largest Italian Military Sacrarium. It rises up on the western front of the Monte Sei Busi, which, in the First World War was bitterly fought after because, although it was not very high, from its summit it allowed an ample range of access from the West to the first steps of the Karstic table area.

The monumental staircase on which the remains of one hundred thousand fallen soldiers are lined up and which has at its base the monolith of the Duke of Aosta, who was the commanding officer of the third Brigade, and gives an image of a military grouping in the field of a Great Unity with its Commanding Officer at the front. The mortal remains of 100,187 fallen soldiers lie here, 39,857 of them identified and 60,330 unknown.
