Beforehand another church was identified to be in its place but facing a different direction.
The construction works were decided during a general assembly of the whole parish. From the 23rd of July the same year an auction was held, and it was determined that the Calligato of Varallo in Italy would be the architect to carry out the works.
At the time of the revolution, the steeple was levelled off by the revolutionaries, it was rebuilt in 1812.
The people of the valley said that the church "descends" as it becomes more and more visible as before you could only distinguish the steeple.
