History and equipment

Before the construction of today's village church, services were held in the church of St. Ulrich and Nikolaus . In 1615, before the outbreak of the Bündner turmoil , the church and its cemetery were built. From 1658 to 1834, Cinuos-chel had its own pastor with the approval of the Bündner Synod .

The narrow, steeply rising tower with a pointed helmet over batting is striking and characterizing the village and landscape . The interior of the church is kept simple, the lower part is clad with pine wood. A pulpit without a sound cover closes on the left the choir , separated from the nave by a round arch , in the middle of which there is a baptismal table on which the Lord's Supper is also celebrated.
