Bözen Church (2008)

The Reformed Church of Bözen is the Reformed village church in the Aargau municipality of Bözen in Switzerland .

history

Originally there was a Marienkapelle in Bözen, but over time it became too small and its structural condition deteriorated visibly. Therefore it was demolished in the middle of the 17th century and replaced by the current church in 1667.

Furnishing

One window shows a cabinet pane with the coat of arms of the city of Bern and the founder Niklaus Dachselhofer , Hofmeister zu Königsfelden. A choir window installed in 1961 by the Aargau artist Felix Hoffmann shows the resurrection of Christ . Ernst Laur (1871–1964), professor at the ETH and Swiss peasant secretary, is buried here together with his wife Sophie Schaffner (1875–1960). Since June 2009, one finds as Rüedi Goblet designated Chalice in a glass case in the church. On the outside of the church there is an epitaph for Andreas Roland von Königsberg with rich stone masonry from the transition period between Renaissance and early Baroque. According to the epitaph, Roland was a major in the Erlach regiment during the Thirty Years' War under the French crown and died in 1646 as a commander in Laufenburg. The original epitaph was copied in 1983.
