Jenaz Reformed Church
The reformed church in Jenaz in Prättigau is a Protestant - reformed church building . It is under monument protection of the canton of Graubünden .
history
The church is first documented as a rectangular, Romanesque building in the first half of the 12th century under the patronage of Peter . In the pre-Reformation period, in 1483, the choir was rebuilt and in 1485 the nave was extended to a nave . During these years, the church tower - atypical for the Prättigau - was erected south of the building to serve as protection against the ever-threatening reef descents .
