The church, as we see it today, is the result of a series of expansions, elevations, and renovations that took place over the centuries. Prior to the 15th century, it was one of the wealthiest in the area and had an important heritage. Dedicated to Saint James the Greater, apostle of Jesus, it houses a true pictorial palimpsest inside. The Last Supper on the left wall dates back to around the mid-15th century (1450) and was created by the Master of San Donato di Lentiai, while the main theme depicts "The Life and Miracle of Saint James the Greater," taken from the Golden Legend, created by the brothers Giovanni and Marco da Mel in 1520/1530 and by Lorenzo Paulitti in 1560.
The decoration with red and white vertical stripes simulates the drapes that traditionally adorned the interiors.
The church is open to visitors on good weather days; one can also contact the nearby Osteria Col De Rù.
The church is also opened on the occasion of the celebrations for Saint James and for the event "Fragments of Art in Valbelluna" every last Sunday of summer and on special occasions.
