La Chiesa di Tempio
Where is the Chiesa di Tempio in Ormelle?
Located at via Templari, 63, 31024 Ormelle (TV), the parish church of Ormelle is a splendid and ancient Christian place of worship built at the end of the 12th century by the Order of the Knights Templar.
Immersed in the lush countryside of the Marca Trevigiana and lapped by the waters of the Lia River, the church is characterized by a sober and essential style that reflects the canons of Romanesque architecture, as evidenced by the severe and solemn character of the interior spaces consisting of a single nave ending in three apses.
One of the most distinctive structural elements of the temple is the evocative frescoed portico punctuated by round arches.
The vast artistic heritage preserved in the temple is attested by a rich series of pictorial works created in different periods, from the 12th to the 15th century.
If you are wondering what to do in Ormelle and you are passionate about art and architecture, the Chiesa di Tempio is one of the most significant sites in the province of Treviso.
La Chiesa di San Bartolomeo Apostolo
The Chiesa di San Bartolomeo Apostolo is located at via XXIV Maggio, 8 in Ormelle (TV).
Rebuilt in the 1920s after the devastation of the Great War severely compromised its structure, the original church of San Bartolomeo Apostolo dates back more than four hundred years.
Flanked by two side aisles, the central hall is distinguished by a refined coffered wooden ceiling. Inside the apse is a valuable 16th-century work depicting the Madonna and Child with Four Saints, as well as refined marble sculptures.
The white façade is distinguished by the evocative portico surmounted by a loggia, both punctuated by large round arches. The vertical development of the building is completed by the triangular tympanum surmounted by a cross.
Nature and wine growing
Il Lago dei Templari
The territory of the municipality of Ormelle is included in the vast area bordered to the north by the Monticano River and to the south by the Piave, watercourses that, together with a dense hydrographic system of resurgences that develops along the Lia River, constitute a resource of fundamental environmental importance for the development of the rich arboreal, floral, and faunal biodiversity of the area, allowing visitors to admire landscapes of inestimable naturalistic value.
An example is the evocative Lago dei Templari, a natural oasis that runs along the Lia River and is accessible via a small bridge. The green area, dotted with lush plants and trees, is an ideal destination both for those seeking a serene place to rest and sunbathe and for sports fishing enthusiasts. The small lake, reachable via via Ferralini, is recognized by the Italian Fishing Federation (Fipsas) and allows members of the hunting and wildlife association (0422 745352 / 335 752 5039) to dedicate themselves to the sport that so fascinated Ernest Hemingway, the famous American author of “The Old Man and the Sea,” winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1953.
If you are wondering what to do in Ormelle and you love spending your free time in contact with nature, a visit to the Lago dei Templari is certainly recommended.
Wine growing
The municipality of Ormelle is a historically wine-growing area, a cultivation of great importance thanks to the notable fertility of the soil and the common desire of local growers and entrepreneurs to make the most of its production potential.
The municipality of Ormelle, located in a flat area 22 meters above sea level, has led local producers to identify the most suitable areas for growing grapes suitable for producing excellent wines, in line with the high standards of the province of Treviso.
The vast range of wine denominations is linked to the presence of numerous municipal wineries, reviewed in the Quattro Calici wine guide.
