Open on Sundays only (May 2024)

Nice photo but the correct name is Tenuta Darola.

the church of the most holy name of Mary belonged to the complex of the Lucedio Abbey. today it is abandoned and it is not possible to enter. on the side there is a window from which I took some photos of the interior. Be very careful in summer because I noticed that on the side of the church there is a large nest of wasps or hornets, I can't tell because it is really very high up. the photos you see were taken at the end of February.

Beautiful, very large. In excellent condition as it is used

It was founded in 1123 by Cistercian monks from Burgundy who reclaimed the territory, being the first to introduce the cultivation of rice into Italy in the mid-1400s. The Principality of Lucedio can be visited by the public, according to the calendar indicated on the "Visit Lucedio" https: //www.principatodilucedio.it/it/

Estate of the Principality of Lucedio, a farm that also belonged to Napoleon, with an abbey attached

The principality of Lucedio is a place where history and mystery blend among the rice fields of the Vercelli area. In the 12th century the Marquis Rainero del Monferrato donated this area to the Cistercian monks, who founded the Abbey in 1123. The monks reclaimed the land and cultivated rice, helping to spread this cultivation. However, the history of the Principality of Lucedio is also marked by dark events: it is said that in 1864, an evil presence was evoked in a cemetery near the abbey and took possession of the minds of the monks. A mystical place of incredible beauty.

The deconsecrated church of SS. Nome di Maria – also known as Madonna delle Vigne – is a fascinating and mysterious place. Many legends arise around this place, including that of the "devil's score". Built in 1696 and deconsecrated in 1784, the church is now in a state of total abandonment. Unmissable especially for lovers of abandoned buildings.
