Couples looking for a Protestant wedding in Lake Como can get married at this gorgeous Anglican Church in Lake Como. It was built in early 1800's as a small chapel, but with the increasing numbers of English speaking visitors and residents in the region it proved to be inadequate. The Church of the Ascension in Cadenabbia is a masterpiece of Giuseppe Brentano, a young Italian architect and was completed and consecrated on Michelmas Day in 1891 with over 350 people subscribing to the cost. The walls of the church are simple engravings of angels in worship and recording. Finally the stained glass window on the left, as you enter the church, is of the ascending Christ surrounded by the Disciples.The gold mosaic behind the altar, the most striking feature of the church, was added in 1927. Many of the beautiful stained glass windows were destroyed during World War II, but a new rose window was installed in the 1970's depicting the favorite flowers of a former churchwarden. |
The two-manual pipe organ, a miniature replica of the one in the Como Cathedral, was built in 1935 by Balbiani-Vegezzi-Bossi of Milan.
An ideal choice for Protestant weddings in Lake Como at a suggestive Church.
