Levice, comune delle Langhe di origine romana ed antico feudo dei Marchesi di Cortemia, purtroppo non conserva molte vestigia del passato. Una di queste è la Chiesa della Visitazione, situata al di fuori del centro abitato, lungo la Strada Proviniale che conduce a Bergolo.
Anche conosciuta come Cappella della Madonna del Bricco, la Chiesa della Visitazione è stata costruita nel seconda metà del 1500.
Si presenta con linee semplici ed una facciata dotata di portico con prospetto timpanato. L’interno è ad un’unica navata ricoperta da volta a botte.
Lungo il fianco destro della Chiesa sorge il campanile posto in linea con il presbiterio.
