In Piazzo di Segonzano, Ca' de la Val is housed in the stone building of the historic Venetian sawmill. The restored sawmill is considered part of the local craft heritage. The Chiesa dell'Immacolata preserves a statue of the Madonna dell'Uva from the 15th century, the work of an anonymous Tyrolean master; throughout Val di Cembra, she is revered as the protector of the harvest. The Santuario della Madonna dell'Aiuto is another special sacred site: It lies in a forest in the shade of a lime tree several centuries old.
