Nimis between history, woodland and Ramandolo
Accommodation in Nimis
Nimis between history, woodland and wine
Nimis brings together tangible monuments, woodland landscapes, water and regional wine culture. Historical traces are just as central as a route with a woodland section and Ramandolo, which is associated with Nimis. The parish church, Cergneu, Torlano, the Cornappo and Ramandolo represent different historical, landscape and culinary connections to the area.
Parish Church and Castello di Cergneu
The present-day parish church of Saints Gervasius and Protasius in Nimis preserves the remains of a baptismal font dated to the year 1100. The church is one of Friuli’s oldest and gives the town an immediately tangible historical connection.
The medieval ruins of Castello di Cergneu have been preserved in Cergneu. The oldest part consists of the remains of a square keep with windows, loopholes and an entrance. The surviving structural elements also make the site interesting for visitors interested in medieval architecture and the traces of former fortifications.
Torlano, Anello di Monteprato and Madonna delle Pianelle
In Torlano, the Ponte degli Angeli consists of a broad stone arch and connects the two oldest parts of the town. Also in Torlano, Casa Manzocco contains a devotional fresco attributed to Titta Gori depicting the Redeemer. Both places add to the view of the area’s local architectural and artistic history.
The Anello di Monteprato route starts in Nimis and enters the woodland after leaving the town. The sanctuary of Madonna delle Pianelle is also located just outside Nimis.
Woodlands, gentle hills and the Cornappo
Nimis lies between woodlands and gentle hills. This landscape shapes the character of the town and appeals to travellers who, when planning their trip, want to include not only individual monuments but also peaceful stretches of nature.
The Cornappo flows with clear, calm water through the valleys of Nimis. These valleys provide a suitable habitat for trout and complement the landscape with a tangible experience of the water.
Ramandolo and the Festival of the Little Bells
Nimis is associated with Ramandolo, a white wine that was the first wine from Friuli to receive DOCG status. Oro di Ramandolo is also significant for the region’s culinary orientation: this mobile tasting event takes place among hills and wineries, with Ramandolo DOCG served alongside seasonal and traditional dishes.
The Festival of the Little Bells is celebrated in Nimis every year around 8 September. This recurring date is one of the specific reference points you can consider when planning a trip with an interest in local festivals and regional culture.
