The building, originally built around 1300, was subjected, in 1600 and 1729, to renovation works that gave it its current appearance. The Church, with its eighteenth-century style facade slightly advanced in the central part, is preceded and partly flanked, to the south, by a raised sagrato of a few steps above the road, from which it is protected by a stone wall with small columns. It has a pointed base on which rest six pilasters that divide the front facade into five compartments; in the central one, in the lower order, is located the squared stone portal, with light incisions, surmounted by a crowning and a broken pediment. The facade is also divided horizontally by a complete entablature with cornice. On the right side of the building, attached to it, is the priest's house preceded by a portico, divided into two bays by a central stone pillar, which, hosting the side entrance, also has the function of access to the Church. The Church of Barzesto, dedicated to the Most Holy Body of Christ, became a Parish in 1676, following separation from the Church of San Giorgio in Vilmaggiore.
