The new parish church was built in 1909 according to plans by Don Angelo Noacco, parish priest of Cassacco, architect and author of numerous church projects in Friuli (including the Cathedral of Santo Stefano di Buja), and consecrated in 1938. Built in the Neo-Gothic style on an imposing base, the main façade of which is divided into two flights of stairs leading from the square to the churchyard, it features a striking façade with tower-shaped tabernacles, a porch, and a central rose window. Inside, three naves are divided by archivolt columns of red Verona marble. Thanner's frescoes, removed from the rear wall of the old parish church, were relocated to an arch in the left nave and appropriately restored.
