The Reformed Church in Casti in Shams in the canton of Grisons is a Grade II listed Evangelical - Reformed church in the southeast of the village on an exposed rock.

History and equipment

The character of a Romanesque hall church from the 12th century is rare in Graubünden .

The massive church tower adjoining the church building in the south was only later given a bell storey with bells from the late medieval to pre-Reformation period, around 1300 to 1484.

Inside the church there are early Gothic wall paintings by the Waltensburg master . The simple pulpit was built in 1807. The church was renovated in 1971–1973 and 1990–1994. The five-registration organ from Orgelbau Felsberg AG dates from 2007 .

Church organization

Casti-Wergenstein form a pastoral community with Zillis and the other villages on the Schamserberg and belong to the Colloquium II Schams-Avers-Rheinwald-Moesa within the Protestant-Reformed regional church of Graubünden .
