Amandus Church (Maienfeld)
The Amanduskirche in Maienfeld in the Bündner Herrschaft in the canton of Grisons is an Evangelical - Reformed church , which by Amandus of Strasbourg is named.
History and equipment
The Amandus Church is a late Baroque building from the years 1721–1724, which builds on two predecessors and took place after the last big fire in 1720. It is a hall church without a choir and with an onion dome .
Originally the church was laid out as a transept church with an altar and baptismal font in the middle of the hall, so that the churchgoers from the upper part of the community who enter the church through the upper entrance would face to face with those from the lower part. In 1939 the church was redesigned so that the pulpit, baptismal font and organ at the mountain end of the church form a unit; nevertheless, the church entrance was preserved at this point.
The church is a listed building and is under the protection of the Canton of Graubünden.
