The previous building was demolished in 1826, and the new church, dedicated to the disciple of Saint Martin of Tours, San Brizio, was built at the initiative of the parish priest Don Bartolomeo Corà from 1826, the year of demolition of the previous building, until 1830. Bishop Giovanni Giuseppe Cappellari, during a visit to the parish, consecrated the church on October 22, 1835.
The church has a façade facing southeast. It is divided by four pilasters that support the triangular pediment, in the center of which there is a circular oculus, and at the top rises the cross.
In the center is the rectangular wooden portal, above which there is an inscription commemorating the construction of the building, built with the donations of the faithful and its dedication, while in the two niches, we find the statues of Saint Maria Bertilla Boscardin and San Brizio.
The layout of the church is in the form of a Latin cross, with a single nave and four lateral chapels with a rectangular base. The interior walls feature Corinthian pilasters and blind arches with a full arch.
On either side of the presbytery, in 1934, two chapels were erected based on a design by engineer Don Federico Miotti. In them are located the paintings of the Ultima Cena and of Saint Eurosia.
Between 1868 and 1870, the current bell tower was built with a reinforced base, square plan shaft, bell chamber with a single opening on each side with a full arch and balustrade, all crowned by an octagonal drum with square openings topped by a small dome on which stands the cross with a weather vane.
