description
The southeast-facing baroque building consists of a rectangular nave and a recessed square choir; both are covered with cross vaults. The roof was subsequently raised.
The church was completely painted in 1695. Erwin Poeschel comments on this: ... in the individual clumsy, but on the whole with a rustic, decorative effect . The paintings in the picture are signed with the entombment of Johann Christoph Guserer from Dingolfingen in Bavaria, who was a painter in the episcopal court in Chur around 1695 . The walls depict apostles, saints as well as Placidus and Sigisbert von Disentis , and pictures from the passion story on the vault.
The high altar dates from around 1750, the side altars were built around 1720.
