The parish church of Origlio stands a little above the village and can be reached via a suggestive staircase. It owes its current structure to three construction phases: the original chapel from the 15th century, consecrated to St. George (the choir now serves as a side chapel), the church built between 1608 and 1640 and finally the semicircular choir, which was added in the late 18th century has been. The imposing, unplastered facade reveals Lombard style. Four side chapels radiate from the nave with cross vaults. The stucco work was done by local artisans. Giacomo Quadri from Carnago (1765) worked in the choir, Carlo Lepori from Origlio (1758-59) on the side walls and in the vault, and Giovanni Ghezzi from Lamone (1775) on the altar. The fresco of St. Anthony, to the right of the entrance, dates from the 15th century. A multi-colored wooden statue of the Virgin Mary (15th century) should be noted on the high altar. In the Georgskapelle music-making angels, prophets, elves, the coronation of the Virgin Mary, Saint Francis and Anthony of Padua stand out. These frescoes are believed to have come from the Tarilli workshop in Cureglia. The painting in the Katharinakapelle (early 17th century) shows Saints Catherine, Rochus and Sebastian, framed by stucco work made by Gian Domenico Insermini from Mugena (1745). Carlo Lepori also contributed to the decoration of the chapel. Some votive tablets are also kept, one of which (1610) is attributed to the Tarilli. The church was restored in 1970-80 under the direction of the architect Alberto Finzi.
