History and equipment
In the years 1667–69 after the turmoil in Graubünden , today's building was built in the Baroque style. San Niculò in Pontresina served as a model . The church tower from 1669, renovated and expanded in 1718, rises directly above the choir .
The nave is vaulted like a barrel. In the choir, which is closed on three sides, there is a font in late Gothic style. The pulpit with a decorated sound cover dates from the founding time.
