Historical traces in Pregnana Milanese

The Chiesa Nuova is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul and was built in 1945. Older evidence can be found in the historic architectural forms of the surrounding area: the Mulino Sant’Elena mill dates from the late 18th century and was built beside the Olona River. Cascina Comune dates from the 15th century. Cascina La Fabriziana has a semicircular shape and very large arcades. Together, these buildings offer different insights into religious architecture, rural buildings and the development of regional living spaces.
