The History

Staying in Antica Corte San Pietro means sleeping in a place full of history. In the 13th century, the religious Order of the Humiliati settled here, establishing an oratory that later became the historic Church of San Pietro.
The original monastery’s facade — made of brick and river stones — still stands, with a portico of four Gothic arches on pillars.
The Church of San Pietro, also known as the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Help, is the oldest religious building in Gorgonzola, probably built in the 1200s as the chapel of the Humiliati convent. The order was dissolved in 1568 by Pope Pius V, and the complex has since undergone several transformations while maintaining its historical charm.
