Around 1514 the entire nave was frescoed with various religious scenes in an aerial loggia, still of fifteenth-century taste, open on mountain landscapes.

The altars (five) are in masonry with carved and painted wooden dossals, and are dedicated to S. Cuore, S. Antonio da Padova, Madonna del Rosario, and Saints Antonio Abate, Gottardo and Valentino: on this one there is a wooden group of the Addolorata (Vesperbild) gothic. The baptismal font, monolithic, dates back to the eighteenth century.

The bell tower, later added to the church (XV century) in Romanesque-Gothic style, is 36 meters high, and has a beautiful spire covered with shingles. The last restoration brought to light an inscription dating back to 1640, probably the year of the reconstruction of the coverage.

The church is one of the most interesting of Feltre, as evidenced by the various overlapping cycles of frescoes (XIV-XVI centuries) found during the restoration of 1968.

The two "consecration crosses" opposed in the nave, are the oldest traces, and indicate the places for the officiation of particular rites.On the west wall we find three different layers of frescoes: the next one in order of time with respect to the crosses consists of an arch with a central box containing images barely recognizable of the Madonna and an unidentifiable Saint and presumably another figure in a mirror position to it.
