The Parish Church of Zornasco, dedicated to San Bernardo da Menton, depicted inside on a canvas and as a statue, was born in Vigezzo Valley from a primitive oratory dedicated to worship dating back to 1457, enlarged on three separate occasions, starting in 1662, up to the current Doric style.
The church, with a single nave and three side chapels, still houses two precious paintings: The Adoration of the Magi (Adorazione dei Magi) and St. Peter in Chains (San Pietro in vincoli), the latter by the Vigezzo painter Giacomo Rossetti. The vault was frescoed by the artist Baranzelli from Verbania in 1935.
Outside is a small porch and on the south wall an ancient sundial is still visible.
