San Vigilio Abbey
The Abbey of San Vigilio, built in 1104 by Benedictine monks, is one of the best preserved religious monuments of that era in the area. In fact, the church with the bell tower and inside the portico and courtyard of the ancient convent still exist. It is a complex renovated after 1443, when the Venetian Pietro Lippomano was abbot, since in the previous centuries, the abbey had suffered very serious damage. The rebuilding ended in 1481.
The Church – perfectly restored – is today located inside the Chervò Golf Hotel and Resort San Vigilio (an important tourist and sports facility in the town), it can be visited and Holy Mass is celebrated there every Sunday.
