Unfortunately I cannot give more stars to this ancient church which, although excellently restored on the outside and open to visits, leaves something to be desired with an interior that no longer has anything medieval about it, having been remodeled too much. I had read about important discoveries in terms of frescoes in the chapter house of the cloister, but how could I recognize the cloister? No trace remains, yet peering through the glass of a door located to the left of the main facade of the church, you can see elegant masonry arches with frescoed remains. There is no indication of what this environment is (cluttered with chairs and perhaps used as a conference room or auditorium?), when it opens, a minimum of news for those who arrive. There is the only panel relating to the church, on the back. The church is accessed from the side door. Various graffiti can be seen on the bricks of the walls, especially crosses, probably left by believers and pilgrims. In a niche of the church the original simulacrum of Maria Bambina is preserved, with an explanation of the tradition. The rural complex, founded in the 13th century (13th century), is accessible but is in obvious disrepair and there is no indication of "what" to see. Everything seems to need fixing. An impromptu car park is located at the back of the church, which is located near the ring road, as soon as you exit it. Once upon a time it must have been in the open countryside and resplendent with beauty, like its other companions which are part of the "La via delle abbeys" circuit.

Historic abbey of Milan, the interior is a little bare but effective. It's a shame that the entire part of the farmhouse is in decay and abandonment. Still worth a visit.

It seems strange, yet a few meters from the ring road (CAMM exit) there is this beautiful, quiet and well-preserved 12th century abbey. The interior was modernized in Baroque times, but the exterior is, although restored, still original. It's worth the visit

Although certainly not imposing and rich in artistic evidence, the Church and the remains of the village that surrounds it offer an important testimony to the history of the agricultural region around Milan. The Church was built in 1267 (as recalled by a plaque on the façade) by the religious order of the Humiliati of Santa Maria di Brera, in a territory of very ancient origins called Mons luparium or Mount of Wolves, hence the current Monluè. Around it stood a farmhouse with a closed courtyard with monastic buildings and agricultural buildings, surrounded by meadows and arable land, forming an agricultural village, called grangia. The entire complex, including the mill, which was much renovated, is still easily recognisable, although divided, and represents one of the best surviving examples of that type of organisation. With the dissolution of the Umiliati by Cardinal Carlo Borromeo in 1571, the village passed through various owners, until it became part (at the beginning of the 20th century) of the heritage of the Pio Albergo Trivulzio. The village of Monluè, which at the beginning of the twentieth century had a thousand inhabitants, became depopulated before and after the Second World War. What decreed its definitive death was the construction of the Eastern Ring Road, opened to traffic in 1971, which completely isolated the ancient agricultural village, squeezed between the Ring Road, the Lambro and Linate Airport. The Church was built in terracotta like many other churches of the period (think, in addition to the large Milanese buildings, also in Chiaravalle, Viboldone and Mirasole). The original Romanesque-Gothic forms are clearly visible in the small gabled façade with the characteristic false portico portal, two single-lancet windows and an oculus. The church underwent heavy renovations inside, which was probably decorated with medieval fresco cycles. The ceiling of the nave is coffered and dates back to an intervention in 1584. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, four side chapels with a quadrangular plan were added and the windows of the facade were walled up to allow the installation of the organ. The Church was finally restored in 1877. The imposing square bell tower is punctuated by cornices and hanging arches. Remains of valuable medieval decorations adorn the beautiful chapter house. In the nearby courtyard of the farmhouse there is still a monumental poplar tree. From the Church you reach the Monluè Park, which extends towards the course of the Lambro, crossed by paths that can be traveled on foot or by bicycle between meadows and groves.

A place that deserves more promotion: just outside the metropolitan chaos, an oasis of tranquility with a large courtyard that would lend itself to markets, fairs and tastings.

Beautiful medieval church, very pretty and worth a visit.

It is a beautiful medieval church, small and very pretty, worth visiting

It is reported as being part of the tourist route among the abbeys of Lombardy (among which for example we also find Morimondo, Chiaravalle etc)... let's say that I was expecting a place similar to the others, but instead it seemed abandoned, degraded, close to the highway, with old dilapidated farmhouses next to it and a lot of desolation... It's only used as a church, I guess, because it was open. It is not valued from a tourist point of view, as happens with the other abbeys. I don't recommend it if you want to visit it from a tourist point of view.

I found myself walking in monlue. Church around Sunday 11th mass beautiful beautiful farmhouse left near Milan

Beautiful little church, which unfortunately ended up stuck between the ring road, the CAMM and Linate airport. Reaching it by bike is child's play, but it can also cost you your life, because a cycle path has not been designed and I would not recommend going there with weekday traffic. In short, the classic work of Milanese people, who preserve every Roman stone found in the MM excavations but then ruin the beautiful things that are before their eyes

(Translated by Google) For those who appreciate historicity and love Lombard roots, it is certainly an example of 1300 architecture typical of the rural areas of the Milanese hinterland. (Original) Per chi apprezza la storicità e ama le radici lombarde è sicuramente un esempio di archittetura del 1300 tipica delle aree rurali dell'interland milanese

(Translated by Google) Alongside the east ring road; place a little out of this world, with no on-site activities (eg Bar); little church not particularly noteworthy (Original) A fianco della tangenziale est; luogo un po' fuori dal mondo, senza attività in loco (es. Bar); chiesetta non particolarmente degna di nota

It's my church, it dates back to 1200. I got married here, I baptized my children and they received all the sacraments. Very.characteristic. To visit.
