Spiritual center of the Borgo Piave community, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, protector of the gondoliers who transported goods and timber along the river from Cadore to Venice.
The first sacred building recorded in the chronicles was erected in 1361, then it was rebuilt in 1547, as noted by the date carved on the architrave of the entrance portal, and was subsequently modified in 1747 and altered in neoclassical lines in 1861.
The simple facade features two elegant inscriptions dedicated to the new bridge over the Piave built in 1568 by the rector Lorenzo Priuli (Andrea Palladio was also contacted for its construction, but his project was not adopted) and to the hydraulic defense works carried out in 1622 by the rector Federico Corner, the same Venetian patrician credited with the reconstruction of Porta Rugo. Inside, it preserves works from the 17th and 18th centuries.
