Holiday apartment in Lugagnano: church, museums and excursions

Lugagnano combines Cristo Re with local history and various excursion ideas. Cristo Re, museums, a parish festival, natural arches and a zoo form a diverse range of themes. Depending on your interests, cultural experiences, historical discoveries or days with a different focus can take centre stage. The parish church and the museums belong to Lugagnano, while Museo Nicolis, the Castelvecchio Museum, the castle, the natural arches and Parco Natura Viva are located in the surrounding area.

Cristo Re Church and sacred art

The Cristo Re parish church in Lugagnano was opened for worship on 1 May 1955 and consecrated in 1969 by Bishop Giuseppe Carraro. The fresco “Arbor Redemptionis” depicts episodes from the history of salvation. The artist who created the fresco worked on it for fifteen years.

Local history in museums

The Museo Storico Baita Monte Baldo was established in 2011 in the hut of the Lugagnano Alpini group. It focuses on peasant civilisation and wartime periods. At the Museo Storico degli Alpini di Lugagnano, several sewing machine models are preserved in the department dedicated to the history of art and crafts. The local museum themes therefore range from peasant everyday life and crafts to wartime periods.

The two museums have different focuses: Baita Monte Baldo deals with peasant civilisation and wartime periods, while the sewing machine models are assigned to the department of art and crafts.
