Chapel of Sant'Uberto alla Cascina (900 m.s.m.) At the end of the eighteenth century, the farmhouse that existed in the clearing called Alla Cascina on the path to San Giorgio burned down. In 1952, a group of volunteers from Meride took the decision to build a chapel (with refuge) dedicated to Sant'Uberto, an enclosure inaugurated on 19 June 1953. Later, the chapel was donated to the Parish of Meride

Exposed to the elements, the small sacred enclosure needed a new restoration in 1933. The current fresco is the work of the painter Clemente Nesurini da Gnosca (1934, Virgin and Child, Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Anthony the Abbot).

The geographical position of the Chapel in Següree, where rye was grown, is significant. It was refurbished in 1850 with a new fresco by the painter Antonio Rinaldi da Tremona (commissioned by the Della Casa family).

It is located in the Següree area of Meride. A first chapel dedicated to Sant'Antonio Abate, built in the fifteenth century, is already mentioned in the first documents of the Vicinia in Archivio (from 1548), a center of devotion and popular festival in the month of January.
