Chiesetta di Pafsang

The Mysterious Little Church of Pafsang

The Chiesetta di Pafsang in Villa Rendena is a small sacred building with an evocative and mysterious name, linked to the local place names of lower Val Rendena. These small churches and chapels, scattered across the Alpine rural landscape, express the popular religiosity of mountain communities, who marked significant places in their territory with sacred signs.

The little church, with its essential architecture and position in the Villa Rendena landscape, is a precious piece of Val Rendena's religious heritage. The valley, evangelised by Saint Vigilius and enriched by the art of the Baschenis, preserves in every corner testimonies of the faith that for centuries guided the life of these mountain people.
