History and equipment
The church is first documented in 1492. After it was sacked and destroyed in the village fire in 1622 during the turmoil in Graubünden , it was rebuilt in 1633–1634. The nave is designed as a barrel-shaped arched nave , to which the choir is not completely symmetrical, but angled slightly to the south.
The interior of the church is characterized by a loft made entirely of wood , a pulpit with a belly from around 1800 and a Bible box from the end of the 17th century. The bell tower with onion dome is not connected to the church, but stands separately on a rock slab north of the church. The lower part shows late medieval building fabric, while the upper part dates from the Baroque period in 1660.
