Reformed Church Mühlehorn
The Reformed Church Mühlehorn is a baroque country church in Mühlehorn on Lake Walen , Canton of Glarus .
The rectangular hall church with a polygonal end was built from 1759 to 1761 by Hans Jakob Messmer . For a long time it was ascribed to the master builder Hans Ulrich Grubenmann , with whom Messmer frequented. The church has a front tower with a pointed spire and curly eyelashes and is closed on three sides in the north.
The baptismal font and the pulpit positioned in the central axis according to the Reformed meaning of the sermon come from the construction period. The stitch cap vault with classical stucco and the pilasters were only installed by Heinrich Ladner in 1826 . The glass paintings (left Johannes Evangelist , right Jesus Christ ) from 1904 were made by Hans Meyner . The organ on the rear gallery has a manual, pedal and seven stops. It is a work of the Mathis Orgelbau company from nearby Näfels .
The church, which was in danger of collapsing, was renovated from 2019 to 2020.
