Discover Vascon: History, Rural Life and Regional Destinations

Vascon between History and Rural Life

Vascon can be explored through several clearly distinct facets: a church with a long history, an architectural and landscape complex, social organic farming, as well as museums and scenic destinations in the surrounding region. When choosing a holiday apartment in Vascon, you can first consider whether historical sites, rural impressions, regional products or excursions are most important to you.

Holiday Apartment in Vascon between History and Rural Life

A particular point of interest is the Chiesa di Santa Lucia Vergine e Martire. Its history can be traced back at least to 1152; part of the old apse has been preserved in the old bell tower. In 1722, G. Battista Tiepolo created the large fresco “La gloria di S. Lucia” in the church. In 1330, the church was dedicated to Saint Lucy; in 2000, frescoes and coats of arms were discovered in and on the church. It is also connected with the first documented mention of Vascon in 1005; at that time, there was already a small church there.

The Villa Loredan Valier Perocco di Meduna also gives history a tangible presence: it is a significant architectural and landscape complex from the 17th century. The Colonia Agricola and the associated villa were dedicated to charitable purposes; in 1927, the Province of Treviso took over their administration for the same purpose.

Agriculture, Animals and Regional Products

The rural focus of the Colonia Agricola is equally tangible. Since 1989, it has practiced social organic farming on 4.5 hectares of land. It uses its agricultural production and related activities to provide educational and cultural programs for the local community. La fattoria of the Colonia Agricola is home to goats, ponies, poultry, geese, ducks, Padovana chickens, a rabbit and cats. This combination of cultivation, animals and educational programs makes the site interesting if you would like to combine different interests during a trip.

The regional character also includes the Bottega giardino of the Colonia Agricola. It sells organic fruit and vegetables, including produce from its own cultivation, sweet and savory baked goods made at the Colonia, fresh artisan-produced organic bread, its own sugo, sauces and preserved products, as well as selected organic products from artisan businesses. When planning a holiday apartment in Vascon, this aspect may be relevant if you would like to include regional food products during your stay.
